I really appreciate you posting this about your experiences. Glad you are able to have such a realistic view and able to describe the trama and growth so well.
Today I am able to say, "that was then, this is now" and it helps me a great deal to not get stuck.
Sometimes it is difficult for me to figure out things. I heard the "ding, ding, ding" bell several times as I read your post. Very helpful.
I have not awakened from a night terror in a great long while. I am grateful.
Best wishes -
Sincerely,
RockOn
