I guess all these factors have brought her to this. What I don't understand is why, if your past has been painful to some degree, would you want to replay that part of your life?
No, it's not really a matter of choice.
To be clear, roughly half of all mental health professionals don't believe in MLC, and the other half sort of do.
The idea behind a MLC is that there was some sort of event or trauma that occurred in a childhood, where the child wasn't able to process it fully so it got sort of stored away, glossed over and sort of forgotten.
Then later on in life, some button, some event opens up that storage bin in the mind and no that person has to handle the event as an adult...but since it happened as a child...it sort of morphs that person into a child/adult.
A rational adult should be able to process through some of these issues pretty quickly...but not this morphed persona. This has been my experience.
It's not really a choice on their part, and believe me I'd rather be the LBS than an MLCer ANY DAY of the year.
