Survivors guilt, anniversary of a loved one, the loss of a job, a miscarriage, chaotic environments. I do not want another Rally Point member to be isolated or commit suicide. Reach out and inbox myself or others, we are here to provide a safe place and support. All of you are a member of my Military family.

The need for self-protection and interpersonal control arises from interpersonal control. I will share with you due to my Father who was a WWII Veteran and served at 15 years old, created a war environment for myself and our Mom.

The fear of being re-victimized shapes the personality and is due to early emotional neglect, and a chaotic childhood environment.

Colonel (LTC) - you said:

"We all have "unresolved" issues. While there are times when these issues have to be addressed head on, I try to look ahead without spending too much time ruminating over the past. Often easier said than done."

You have just high lighted exactly one of the issues that I see in sessions all the time - "looking ahead," i.e. avoiding, the past. This is tantamount to saying, "get over it" or "forget it," and even "deal with it."

Most people don't know how to "deal with it," except to bury the issues somewhere in the "back 40" somewhere. The problem is, that back 40 gets filled to overflowing at some point, and those issues push themselves into life and relationships.
