Still need to work through early trauma
Gaining Strength:
I am going to try a thought experiment today. I want to see if shifting my thought patterns can help me break through this stuck place.
It is too vulnerable to write exactly what my experiment is but it will be interesting to see how I can handle it. I know anything needs to be given time and that understanding will be pitted against such a longing and need and impatience for a break through.
But I must do something to get moving.

I will keep my fingers crossed that something helps you out of this stuck place, GS. Personally I find shifting my thought patterns really helps, although it's hard to do! Good luck :)
Gaining Strength:
Thanks Twoapenny. I really appreciate your encouragement. it makes a difference.
Gaining Strength:
I've made ZERO progress. So frustrating.This is a pattern as well. GEtting all hyped up to break through yet another layer. going to work fully charged - hitting a wall at 90 mph. Dead.
Facing and naming the profound shame and pulling the bandage back to view again the self-loathing underneath.
This article struck me like a Mack truck. It writes about the office but it relates to my childhood. It explains to me the kind of Stockholm syndrome I was entrapped by.

Thanks for listening.

Dear ((((((((((GS)))))))))))
You have tried for SO long to defeat this trauma on your own.
I wonder if it isn't one of those Alanon type of things (not necessarily
related to family alcoholism, but to similar kinds of family brokenness).
Where just admitting powerlessness, might be better than telling
yourself you, alone, will come up with yet another special "key" to
the healing?
Is it possible that giving up on fixing yourself by yourself, and offering it all up
to a higher power that is composed of a group of other sufferers,
might allow some different light in?
These short-term hopes and crashes have got to be hell on you.
I think groups like Alanon actually don't "require" that the issue be
alcholism, as long as one is ready to follow the structure and principles...
but I may be wrong about that. Someone else may know.
love
Hops
