It's so nice to see you back posting. I love reading your posts. They are always so insightful and beautifully written.

quote:
I think there's a line to be drawn and I think sometimes people tend to lump ruminating and obsession together, when OCD type issues are not the same as being caught in emotional pain (although they may be incredibly painful!). If I had some compulsive issues (like a fear of dogs for example), I probably would want to use some behavioural techniques to help divert me from that particular thought pattern. With family-related emotional issues, probably not.

What a great distinction! I tend to think the same way you do about it and given that I was not allowed to talk about anything emotional in my family seems all the more reason to talk about the things that bother me as I never learned to resolve anything.

Thanks again for your insight.
