Those are all really good points, Bea. I completely agree. What I got from the book at this point in my recovery is understanding the lingering effect the initial traumatic event has on brain function. I'm over the ruminating, crying, etc. but still don't quite have the enthusiasm for my life that I once had. It would be easy to just chalk it up to depression, but I don't believe that's true in my case. It's interesting that the author notes that it takes about two years to turn a corner and that's true for me. I'm a little beyond that time frame and I can definitely feel big changes that have occurred recently.
TL72, I hope you found the book and get useful information from it.
