i did graduate, but there were a few classes that i dropped at the last drop date , by the skin of my teeth. there was a spanish class that i thought would be an easy credit but most of the students were italian looking for an easy credit which meant i was waaay behind from day one. And i can't remember if i dropped a history class that was scheduled for friday morning at 8am , party night at University was Thursday LOL, tells you where my priorities were at the time!
PTSD type 1 stuff is a whole different ball of wax, but i do believe that many people who grew up in dysfunctional families suffered from PTSD type 2 which is more pernicious. PTSD type 2 many people never recover from the deep learned feelings of abandonment, shame, distrust, and anger. Even in older age these deep memories create a sense of who we are and what are value is in life. Confusion, shame, belonging, safety.
I've been to many a psychologist, and the only thing they really need to be able to do is listen, no one has the answers to anybodys particular problems and issues.
we are getting older and going to die, my father died with all his childhood issues unresolved and present, questions why his father never loved him and never gave him the credit for being a financially successful independent man with a family. Are these recurring dreams telling us stuff we need to resolve in order to live guilt free and shame free? or are these dreams for the most part are just our brain working at a subconsious level reminding us to stay safe, look out for danger, be wary of our surroundings?
Obviously I wasn't cut out to be a psychologist.
