An interesting experience

Hi everyone,

I wanted to come back to this board and share a recent experience hoping it will be of use to any of you, because it helped me a great deal. After a lot of traditional therapy and 12 steps programs (such as CODA), I tried a couple of alternative therapy programs, the last one from what it seems with great success as it managed to uproot a deep core belief that was keeping me stuck.

I have suffered serious sexual and emotional abuse from NM. Nothing new here, and although there were many incidents, one in particular could not be worked. Even when I finished my memoir and had to translate it, it was impossible to work through a sentence of the incident without falling to pieces.
Up until I was 14, NM threatened to send me to my father. I didn't know him so the boogey-man threat worked, until I went to spend a summer holiday with him. Being in his good behaviour, after going back to NM, I wrote him a letter saying I'd rather go live with him, even if I had to wait until I was 18. NM found out about it and shaved my head. Ok, dramatic but as stated, worst things happened throughout my upbringing.

Recently I tried the last type of healing and because I am not quite adept at it yet, I could not 'read' the messages clear. When the healer suggested I worked through my fears, probably I did send a message to my subconscious to 'show' me my fears. So I had a dream that I was looking in the mirror and instead of me, I saw a demon. Still I couldn't translate the message. I asked the healer what should I do and said that I should try to decipher the message and I got an answer: 'I am evil'. Then it started hitting me: NM while I am NC sends emails where she insists that I was passed 'evil dna' from my father. Still I couldn't see the connection. I did the method once more and I was taken to age 14 and I remembered NM saying that she had to cut my hair so all evil will be taken out of me and the new hair will be 'evil-free'. Nevertheless when I visualised this particular incident, at last I felt some relief and I couldn't stop crying for at least an hour.

I am now 41. How on earth could I progress and think that I deserve a good life when I was fed and practiced for 27 years the belief that I am evil?

It's interesting that a therapist or healer before has told me that my difficulty for me was to match my inside with my outside. If you think in terms of law of attraction, you cannot attract anything good if the message in the subconscious is the opposite and stays tall as a powerful block?

Anyway, I will work hard in removing these NM-fed beliefs and I feel that it will eventually get better.

I know what I write is a little out there, but I wanted to share this with you guys.

Thanks

Thanks for sharing this!

I've gone through something fundamentally similar - though all the details are different. I too, was convinced I couldn't help but be a "bad person"...

your method for calling up the memories from the sub- and unconscious self and seeing the connection is just as valid as anything I did in therapy - it worked, right?  ;)

Guest:
and with this type of change, often the end justifies the means I think...a bit like dealing with Ns.

If it works, it works! :D

Nonameanymore:
Yes guys, it worked although it has stirred up a lot of issues for me like massive anger  :x
what really is bizarre though is that I went back to read my memoir and in EVERY chapter I mention 'she thinks of me as evil'. I mean, like on auto-pilot I wrote what the subconscious told me to, but it didn't really register... This is really weird, really, really weird

Another issue that came up was when she called me and judged me as unlovable. Strangely enough though this didn't kick in until a few years ago when every single one relationship I have (even friendships) are with people who are emotionally unavailable. To tell you the truth and what scared me was that I left my codependent ways of trying to give sex and take love and instead became one of them. Me? Emotionally unavailable? Yes! I was!
With the same process I worked the heart thing (ha, thing!) and it's like a radar trying to pick at least one person who dares to have a luv exchange with me. I am here baby!

It's never too late, right? I hope everyone here on this board finds their missing keys to unlocking whatever is important to them.

I am happy I am done being an evil robot! mwahahaha!

(sorry for the comedy stuff but it feels a relief writing about it yet again) :D

Sounds good that you're 'done with it'.    
Ns almost by definition project thier issues into others.  And the results, if you are vulnerable, which of course you are as a child, is that we absorb their disowned issues.  
I beleive the situation with an N is in fact a moral issue, no matter how unfashionalbe such concepts are.  And the good and evil is 'fought out on the battle ground of our souls'  (Patricia Evans).    So, its all par for the course to me, that an N is talking about evil, projecting it into you, or into your hair etc.  Mad as a hatter!
the damage it leaves is often as a schizoid character defects, in 12 step parlance, or in the quadrants, it would then make sense that the roles switch, we move round those quadrants, until we get well and can meet in real human relationships.... more on www.selfinexile.com
