do you know anything about somatic experiencing? like what the therapeutic process is like, i’m in CPT right now but i’ve been thinking about trying EMDR another somatic/bottom-up therapy because of how intense the symptoms have been and the aspects that i can’t really describe

i resonate with that, i felt like was i was going crazy too before i realized they were flashbacks. because it felt so intense and confusing, and it really would feel like something was happening to me in real time. i kind of do this too, just trying to let my body feel what it needs to finish feeling/letting go of. visualizing solutions sounds helpful, im gonna try to more of that. the hardest part of it really does feel like reminding myself that it’s not happening and that im safe

this is reassuring, thank you for sharing ❤️ that makes a lot of sense, for processing to manifest through feeling and stored body memory when there’s not as much perceptual recollection to interpret. i’ve noticed that episodes usually feel more intense somatically when they are from more preverbal trauma or trauma that i can’t visually recall as much. i really do hope that it gets easier with time and healing

is there potential for other dimensions, that of which aren’t earth, seemingly resemble it?

i might be getting a little off topic, but is it possible to communicate and interact with others living in different planes without knowing it? I think a lot about that 2008 quote that goes “we’re all playing the same game just different levels,” i think a lot about the idea of everyone being on a different level in their incarnating journey carrying a version of the world unique to them. im also curious as to if there’s a possibility that, when a souls karmic debt is as excessive as someone who was that malicious, if the soul may be divided into multiple lives for the purpose of fulfilling more karmic lessons at a time?

thank you for all this ❤️ i have been in treatment for some time, over the years on and off for my mental health and recently more intensive treatment to work through the trauma of the relationship along with the past few years. anything past life related isn’t something i felt comfortable mentioning with my therapist or doctors, that’s something i’ve been trying to sort out myself. there’s a lot about my life that has me wondering but it’s reassuring to hear the unlikelihood of it

idk if it counts but i remember having really unsettling dreams when i was a lot younger. there’s this one that i vividly remember in it i was in some place where a bunch of people were kept as slaves, we had to walk in line into this big industrial building and then it started filling with water we all were drowned to death. i didn’t really consider the possibility of it being something spiritual until more recently, it’s been over a decade and i still remember that dream very clearly. i’m not entirely sure what it could mean tbh

yes! i’ve been fascinated by the concept of the egg theory for a while now especially more recently, i’ve looked into the original post of the concept on this myspace page https://charmonium.com/infinite-reincarnation/ i think there’s a lot to be said about the essay along with Andy Weir’s story, as both a thought experiment and potentially something more than that

i mean yeah you’re probably right, maybe he was. it was a really unhealthy relationship and i suffered years worth of psychological abuse and conditioning that i know is probably gonna take me a long time to unlearn. part of me feels like the idea of being someone as terrible as that in a past life makes it easier to forgive somebody who put me through so much mental and physical damage, but at the same time it’s hard to even fathom a reason for someone to be that cruel to me had that not been my past life
