COUGARFALLS

THESE ARE THE STORIES OF MY DREAMS

COUGAR FALLS

I SAT THERE AS THE THERAPIST SPOKE THE WORDS OF HYPNOSIS TO ME OVER THE PHONE. HE SAID THAT THIS FORM OF THERAPY, CALLED REM THERAPY, IS USED ON POW'S FROM WAR. HE EXPLAINED THAT HE WOULD BE COUNTING ME DOWN AS HE SUGGESTED THAT I "SEE" A PLACE IN MY HEAD. HE SAID TO MAKE IT A SAFE PLACE I COULD GO TO RELEASE THIS TRAUMATIC MEMORY I HAD BEEN HAVING.

I HAD BEEN HAVING MEMORIES OF A RAPE I HAD ENDURED. I THOUGHT OF A NICE, SAFE PLACE, AND SUDDENLY IN MY MIND I SAW...COUGARFALLS.
