Understanding Your Past the Key to Your Future

by Cecil G. Osborne

DADDY I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! OVER AND OVER SHE SCREAMED. HURT AND ANGER SURGED THROUGH HER VOICE, AS LONG-REPRESSED FEELINGS WERE EXPRESSED. EVENTUALLY HER TONE CHANGED. SHE SOBBED SOFTLY. ALL I WANT IS FOR YOU TO LOVE ME DADDY. PLEASE LOVE ME. I NEED YOU, DADDY..PLEASE? PLEASE! AND SHE WEPT FOR A LONG TIME, UNCONTROLLABLY, WHILE TWO FRIENDS HELD HER. THESE ARE THE WORDS OF A WOMAN WHO IS RELIVING LONG-BURIED CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES IN PRIMAL INTEGRATION THERAPY (PIT). IT IS THE STARTING POINT OF A NEW SOLUTION FOR EMOTIONAL DISTRESS DESCRIBED IN THIS EYEWITNESS REPORT BY A SKILLED PROFESSIONAL COUNSELOR. BUT SUCH RELIVING IS NOT ALL. NEXT COMES RELIEF FROM THE ENERGY-SAPPING PRESSURES THE OLD WOUNDS STILL CAUSE. I NEVER KNEW I FELT SUCH ANGER TOWARD MY FATHER. JUST THINK THAT'S BEEN DOWN THERE ALL THIS TIME. NO WONDER I SNAP AT MY CHILDREN AND MY HUSBAND. IS THAT WHY I'VE BEEN SO TENSE AND ANXIOUS? FINALLY THERE COMES A RELEASE FROM THE HOSTILITY, AND A NEW VITALITY TO POUR INTO THE JOY OF LIVING.
