Thomas, as always, you speak as my soul brother. Thank you. I am completely with you in believing that we all have childhood trauma. .and that we all have different thresholds for it. That is something I have had to learn the hard way. My threshold was not high…still isn’t. I’m an empath and it’s how I was made..which means I was sick from psychosomatic illness by age 12…and it didn’t go away till I was 38, with EMDR. Then came back with a fury during the divorce. Still living with it now ans scared ill never really recover, therapy or not. Your introspection and perspective are valuable gifts to the world. I hope you can not o lt help yourself but your family someday. Here’s to a better 2023 than 2022!

Blessings, brother.
