 We spoke about ritual and now important it is to organize therapy around ritual to make it predictable and recurrent.

Joseph in hiding a prostitute was creating a trauma bond.

Our sexual lives are the truest part of our lives. Because they reveal our deepest desires.

a neurobiological imperative is to be touched. So the abused feels the lack of care, connection and play that makes us accessible. The abuser reads our longing.

Touch is a survival need. When mom and dad do not satisfy that need and an abuser does.  And how is that evil. You have to honor how your need was paired with sex for you to survive.

Scott is sharing his story for us to reflect on it.

A Story of Harm with my Mon

This is not a report, it is general get to know me.

However, the real work is where there it tears, pain, murder.

The scene where Michael Corleone kisses his brother in the mouth and says, I know it was you. The betrayal of a sibling. You get into the scene where the heartache lies in the story.

His mother treated him basewd on the attachment styled she developed growing up. 

AS long as I hate that boy I am always at war with a part of me.

Recovery is being able to be the authentic, creative free, guy you are to be.

Find pictures of the body I was and find out where you feel contempt.

This is a great tool.

Before 21, where did I get my wounds.
