My current counsellor/therapist has done the most helpful work with me, she is a speciaist therapist who deals with Borderline personality disorder clients and works on the basis of DBT (mindfulness). It is the first time in my life I have lived in the moment with both reality and emotions and not in the crisis world of my rapes and sexual abuse history, I feel like I am livng my life by staying in the present and dealing with how things in my past effect me now.
All the rapes and sexual abuse happened nothing can change that but how I deal and handle things can change and have and I feel blessed and freer than I ever have before

That is really great news to hear that things are going well for you. I agree that living in the present is exactly where we have to live. I don't live 'in' the rapes... just the effects of them. (Sometimes it seems like a fine line, doesn't it?)

I'm really happy for you and glad you shared this.

That is great to hear. I've heard that DBT can be very beneficial for people who've been abused and exhibit borderline and even bipolar tendancies.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
