Re: Good Morning!
Dear @MDT
you have always seemed to me to be on the right path.
I’m pretty sure that stuff…….’stuff,’ you have dealt with and left behind a long time ago are situations others your age are struggling with or more like………thinking about too much.
Maybe you can do this more……….just be kind and move on to more interesting things?
i visit a lady who lives where I live in the same block of flats. she is in a relationship with our friend but at 60, she obsesses over her continuous trauma ……..so sad.
I think it’s best if I validate her and move on.
…………….Your probably doing this already.

Yo @StanD
In terms of the vicarious trauma of group therapy - hearing you. A few years ago I did the same thing when it came to a depression support group. It was actually hosted at a church and had no religious affiliation. I'll spare the details, but it was traumatic because it was like a group bible study - which was the problem
Just wanted to say I'm hearing what you're saying - take care of yourself
NB to anyone reading - no disrespect to people who are religious here, in fact i find that the book of proverbs and ecclesiates are both helpful for me in my own personal life. All the best

@MDT I was just passing, noticed your light on. I tip my hat to you.
I’m a Pinky-Lefto socialist atheist, about as socially acceptable as leprosy.

Wise words - validate and move on
Those dark nights of the soul are some of the ones where I have done most of my self reflection. Those flickering lights in the distance that the bird is looking at - they speak to me - much like bird I have wings to fly from them. THAT is how I'd like to look at my trauma from the past.
This analogy was used in therapy yesterday and it tells me a lot because it means that I am able to distance myelf from the dear in the headlights. Sometimes those lights (fairy lights if you will which are actually objectively cool and pretty nice to look at) will seem like headlights and oncoming danger - only for them to pass me by for the beautiful thing it is.

Re: Good Morning!
You seem clever @MDT
Could you - without any way of knowing what I'm writing - could you
Just realise yourself that you are doing the best you can ?
