Several months ago, I adopted 2 kittens, a boy and a girl, who were 2 months old at the time. They were bonded siblings. They were at a local Humane Society satellite facility. I did spend some time together with them. The adoption coordinator told me that the girl didn’t take any shit from the… Continue reading My New Kitten is Triggering Me.

Residual Effects
I continue to feel lingering effects from my jury duty experience. What surprised me the most was the fact that I was so unprepared for this experience. Afterall, I did jury duty in another county before. Of course, in the earlier jury summons, I didn’t know I was a multiple. at that time. As a… Continue reading Residual Effects
The Castle
As I said previously, I thought the door I saw in my vision, was an old door. It had a rounded top at the top of the door. After a while, I realized that the door was a castle door. The image of myself was being small standing in front of this door. Small as… Continue reading The Castle
What Losing Time Feels like
As a teenager, I can remember large swaths of time missing. I had very few memories before the age of 12 . It was almost like I suddenly “hatched”, at the at age of 12.

My Massage Therapist and Jury Duty
I saw my massage therapist seeing my doctor and brought her up to speed there, my doctor did document my PTSD, dissociation and anxiety filled experience. That way, should I ever be called again, I can go to the doctor’s office and get a note excusing me from jury duty. I certainly did not expect… Continue reading My Massage Therapist and Jury Duty

I was anxious and tense, particularly when other coworkers came into the room I worked in.… Continue reading The Damage from Jury Duty

The Body and MY Dissociation: how it worked for me and what I’ve learned.
I was working in a place where I was lifting 65 lbs cases of water bottles. The weight itself wasn’t an issue, but the awkward size of the case was. I ended up with a back injury which showed up on the x-ray machine during the worker’s comp case. At any rate, I went to… Continue reading The Body and MY Dissociation: how it worked for me and what I’ve learned.
