Self-Therapy & Healing Childhood Trauma (1 of 3)

A three-part introduction to doing self-therapy in order to heal from trauma, especially childhood trauma, to liberate our true self, and to manifest the best of us. Although I have worked for years as a psychotherapist, I am a radical proponent of self-therapy. I have more information on my website, www.iraresoul.com, on doing the work of self-therapy.

Hi Daniel, how are you? I would like to know your opinion of the world concentratios, here in Spain, in New York,.... from the perspective of the trauma. For me, even when there things which need to be said about banks or democracy, is many times a way which people express their own internal shit more than a real social concern

@Paseosinperro hi Jorge -- i'm no sure i understand your comment... maybe you are speaking about people speaking out about the horrors of capitalism and industrialism and corporatism...when really their issue is internal -- their unresolved traumas...and they are projecting it outward onto the world and society... is that it? all the best to you --- daniel

Hi Daniel, do you think that when you are not split off is easier to remember your dreams? If so why? do you notice it by personal experience or have you learn it on books? (Freud said that ) Im interesting in know what things about dreams are scientific proved till now

[dmackler58]

@jruizdemena i think people who are less split off tend to remember their dreams better, but not always. sometimes i have seen people who are very split off but remember their dreams, but without so much emotional content -- or have no emotional connection to their dreams at all. other people are extremely dissociated to the point of psychosis, and their psychosis IS their dream -- they live it in their waking hours. i haven't learned much about dreams in books - personal experience is better

I have been journaling since I was 9 years old and it has been a great way for me to better understand myself.

"Normal" comes from "norm". So you have to ask yourself in any given situation "what is the norm here?" (if you are accused of being unnormal.) In nazi-Germany it was unnormal to love Jews!

Riddle: if everyone is trying to be like everybody else, who are they trying to be like? :)

Ive been in Berlin & meditating and it came up when i was about 16 and in the family backyard i planted some tomato plants and they were growing and i was proud. then in a rage my late father ripped them out, the rage i felt and drove it inwards, to where? he was a boxer i couldnt beat him. i still feel the world is somehow unbeatable from that and other events. i have been imagining the situation and sending it light and healing. ive healed a lot over time but its still there
