second part of imagery Now you have had a break, go back to every question and look at your response. Try and find what you feel that your mind presented the image it did. Explain colours you chose, textures, water, cup, solids, liquids, space, objects, people, anything and everything that you wrote from your projected image, try and find what you feel to why you have that image. Don't look hard at things, instead try and look for the easy answers, as they are often the correct one's. Don't attempt to find something that isn't present, just look at each aspect for its absolute simplicity.
This is not an absolute, but something you must do in order to try and self analyse yourself. This is important. Please answer what you can, and simply define if you cannot find an emotion to a response you gave.
#road- in my mind I saw a dusty brown road, that was soft to walk on, but the dirt under my feet could move from side to side making me have to watch the steps i took to stay on firm ground.
#river- I saw in my mind a river that moved somewhat at a pace but not a fast pace, which was filled with rocks that I walked across. In my mind I can still see those rocks and some were slippery and wet, and at times I teetered back and forth, almost falling in, but at the last minute catching myself and pushing forward across the water.
-A thought occurred just now, this is kind of like my life, here I am walking through life, and at times doing things that might make me fall off life's rocks. Ever since the trauma I had in my life, I had found ways to deal with this, and most ways were negative, well they were almost all negative. At times I self harmed to deal with issues, and then I used money to deal with issues. It seemed I always spent more money when stressed out, and now in my life, I am close to losing all I have because of all the money I have spent in my life, and when days I look at my issues, I have sometimes felt that if I just end everything, I will know longer make anyone else suffer because of my mistakes, some how I talk myself out of it, this is like those slippery rocks I walked across to get to the other side. Hmm, sorry, I am not sure I am suppposed to make thoughts like this when discussing the imagery but this just came to mind.
#House- hmm a saw this house and it looked well lived in, but you could tell it had some wear to it, and then I thought whose house this was and right away I saw my little sister sitting inside the house, the sister I saw sitting there was my little sister who had died when I was younger with brain cancer, and after thinking this tears came to my eyes, as I remembered how much I loved my little sis, and how much I missed her with me. After she died a load of things happened that changed the rest of my life and existence, I just feel that she was the one person in the family who rreally got who I am, she was two years younger than I, but she was my favorite sibling, and even sitting here now , I think about how much I misss her. what I miss the most is not remembering any of the times with her, since my abuse I lost alot of my past memories, and it hurts to think that I have very little memories that involve her.
#cup- Right when I saw this cup in my mind I saw a clear cup that had ridges around the outside, and Im not sure what to think about this, the cup was made out of glass and was empty, but had smudges all over the outside. My emotion that occurred right then was like a feeling that my emotional defenses went up, hmm, kind of stumped why?
#Obstacle- as I continued down the path and then ran into this gigantic bear, I felt scared, and could see myself looking around for a way to retreat, and then I saw past him and saw my wife and child, and then I felt angry that this great big animal was keeping me from them, I kept trying to think of ways to get around, but it just did not seem possible, and then I felt sad that I could get to them, so I was letting them down, and I guess thats how I feel all the time, I feel like i let them down all the time, I suck at the provider thing, I am learning to not spend as much money, but I have already placed us in debt, and that hurts the most, and then at times, I am emotionally shut out to them, I cant let too many people in, I mean people I trusted hurt me, and they hurt me bad, its not just physically one suffer with sexual abuse but its also emotional and loads of different things that occur, I need to break for now, I feel like I am going to emotionally explode, and I see images, images that I try and try to get rid of.... |
