Guest guest Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Yes. I've wondered about that a lot. How/if one's upbringing connects to sound sensitivity. Growing up I experienced (not asking for pity here) emotional abuse, manipulation, harrassment. In essence, trauma to my nervous system. Which has had profound effects in my adult life.Lately just realizing, nightmare of all nightmares, I'm repeating these behaviors. That must stop. Will be seeking help soon. I need to build up my inner resiliancy. Retrain my nervous system.Heartbreaking stuff, cuts to my core. Especially when these things are learned from the people that matter the most, your own parents. > >> >> Tammy, it sounds like your childhood may have been troubled. Mine was pure >>crap.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Gena, I understand about repeating the damage that was done to you. I've done that to people that I love. The good thing is that YOU realize you have a tendency and are determined not to repeat it. I do find some solace in knowing that my father believed he was being a good father. He learned parenting from his parents who abused him terribly. I also have closure with my father, something he never had with his parents. He has apoligized many times and in many ways. It's still hard sometimes though. When the little girl inside me has a flashback, or smells a particular smell and she's catapulted back in time and it's as though it's happening all over again. The sadness, the pain, the anger are all back and very real. I still cry over my 'missed' childhood. You are definitely not alone. Sent from my Verizon Wireless Phone Gena Perkins wrote: >Yes.
