muffled,
the hardest thing to do is to make YOURSELF take a peek over that wall that you built to protect yourself.Your T can be there to hold the ladder steady for you. Maybe somebody else (i.e. God) can help you in this process too.
There's a good reason for having that boundary. And there are good reasons for keeping it, and good reasons for breaching it.
I'm not sure what your personal style is. My style is not to take peeks and baby-steps, but to attack it with a battering ram and then face a flood of scary monster memories with nothing more than some little pills, a woman I've known for a few months, some kleenex, and my imagination. Oh, and the support I get from psycho-babblers like you :o)
Somedays I think I'm winning, and other days I wish I had never even gotten the idea in my head to pick up that battering ram. Some days I feel like I'm all alone and everything is attacking me from all fronts (my imaginary battle scenes are very midieval, no modern warfare technology is available). Other days I sit around twiddling my thumbs, waiting...
Every once in a while I win. So do you, you know?
But I'm not sure when the war will be over. I just know that it's important to avoid getting hurt, because I need to be as strong as possible to face every day.-lurpsy
