They want to emerge, but we don’t want these uninvited guests to invade our adult space because they’re painful to acknowledge. So we try to block their way. We want them to stay asleep down in the basement of our child withins sub-conscious mind. We don’t want to face them, so our habit is to fill our mind with other guests.
Whenever we have ten or fifteen minutes of free time, we do anything we can to keep our living room occupied. We call a friend. We pick up a book. We turn on the television. We go for a drive. We hope that if the mind is occupied, these unpleasant ghosts from our past will not come up.But all mind needs circulation. If we don’t let them come up, it creates bad circulation in our mind, and symptoms of the ghosts of addiction and depression begin to manifest once more in our mind and body.
Sometimes when we have a headache, we take aspirin, but our headache doesn’t go away. Sometimes this kind of headache can be a symptom of dissociation. Perhaps we have allergies. We think it’s a physical problem, but allergies can also be a symptom of mental turmoil. We are advised by doctors to take drugs, but sometimes these will continue to suppress our child within, making our sickness deeper.
