Falling Awake from Amnesia

[Sammicsno]

How do you recover lost childhood memories? If you have reason to suspect you were abused but cannot remember, can you heal?

[grace2244]

@Sammicsno Yes, you can heal in many ways, but until memories are processed/surface or if you internalized your childhood through dissociation, finding the lost parts of yourself is necessary. Learning about communicating with others...rules of expressing emotions and boundaries for relationships can help a lot before memories surface, if they surface.

its a very cool song the only problem is that this is not falling awake

its gary jules' mad world

@leingthelennart The name of the video is Falling Awake and the song is Mad World. I recently learned there was a song called Falling Awake (also by Jules?). Strange weirdness.

I hear you

Wow. I've been listening to the original version of that song by Tears for Fears since it came out in the early 80s and never once thought about the words like this--and I am a victim of severe incest & sexual abuse and have DID. Makes me wonder what Roland Orzabal went through to inspire the lyrics.

@arianwen1174 is this triggering for you then??! or are you fully healed?

and i'm so sorry for what you've been through...i cant imagine what it must be like....
