Today we may behave in ways we don’t like or understand.
We may feel bad or ill, but don’t know why, or can’t find the cause.
During our life journeys we became smart survivors—we
figured out ingenious ways to think and behave which helped us to
survive. We hid feelings and wounds from ourselves and others and
stored "memories" in our "body•mind•spirit." Our muscles and nerves
remembered those experiences.
Sometimes we weren’t seen or heard by people who
could have helped us. We learned how to put up invisible walls between
body, mind, and spirit—we "dis-integrated". Many of us learned how
to "go away"—dissociate. Today we often use survival skills that
no longer help us or get in our way.
