I will remove you from the list LRS.

One position still available then... and maybe others, as we only have 4... maybe 5 I think, disclaimers back.

Default cathy's mental imagery

it seems i always go to the same place, a lot of my answers were about the same as the mental imagery with anthony. it is easy, and although i was pretty nervous, it was really nothing to worry about. Dr. R was very nice.

i learned i have issues with trust, not knowing who to trust. i learned i am healing(yay!)i am evidently confused about a lot, i'm not sure about that, i'll have to try and figure it out. one thing i definately don't understand is the anger towards authority. i really don't have any trouble with that in my job, maybe i was angry with my parents, but i don't really remember much anger, more puzzlement and sadness.

gave me some things to explore with my therapist, if i can manage. i think i gave myself a headache, trying to figure out what to write here. he pointed out that my mood is better/worse, which is the depression, i guess. when it's not bad, i am hopeful, when it is bad, i feel hopeless.

Default I really want to participate...just nervous

I feel like "WOW...I am participating in the mental imagery study this weekend with Dr. Roerich!" I am becoming more and more anxious as the study approaches. Why? Well,on the one hand, I'm anxious to participate and can't wait to get the ball rolling...find out more about myself and work on possible solutions to get better. On the other hand, I don't know if I can deal with what the study may reveal. I'm not very good with words and try to hide my inadequecies the best I know how in order to survive and hang on to my job, husband, etc. Do I want anyone to see the real me? Yes, I really do. Do I know who I am anymore? No, not really.

i have done nothing but sleep the last few days, lol. but sleep i needed. i feel different somehow, not sure if it was the mental imagery or the sleep. it feels more like i know who i am than i did before, maybe its self-esteem coming up? i don't know. i really think it is the combination of things, but i am grateful that i feel this way. i still don't understand everything, lol, but i am still working on it.

Theresa, simply detail here what you found, what your experience was, what you learnt about yourself (if anything), etc.

Well, Dr. Roerich revealed the real me. Earlier today he conducted the mental imagery interview. As a participant, I thought it went exceptionally well. Afterward I felt as though I'd indeed completed an important part of a journey. Parts of it seemed so real. I gained greater insight into feelings that I have long suppressed and thought were little or no influence at this time on my emotions. However, the roots of my emotions seem to go way back into my childhood. For example, I have many trust issues, am unsure about my support system---not always feeling safe, and don't like it when others judge me. Above all, I learned and truly believe that I am indeed hurt, but the damage is reparable. When I shut down my computer and went to go on with my day, I was incredibly tired from crossing a river and making so many decisions...I took a 3 hour nap and awoke so peaceful and relaxed. I really needed the sleep. My husband doesn't understand why I was so tired and has been making little jokes that I should color more often Thank-you Dr. Roerich and Anthony! I feel like I've found a missing piece of the puzzle and I'm going to use it to get myself back together.

During the interview process, Dr. Roerich asked something to the effect of how did this compare with your interview conducted by Anthony? Did you know that I have not yet participated or read any of the Road Interviews conducted by Anthony? I chose not to because undoubtedly some of those images would stick in my mind and possibly make this interview's results less reliable in my own mind. Anyway, now I'm going to read a few.

Good stuff... yes, I only share a small portion of the interview process publicly, then my knowledge is also likely only 20% of the full picture at present, though learning every day.
