The Normal Abnormal I am a Psychodynamic Counselor, and I write about unspoken and unworded experiences to blur the distinction between normality and abnormality.

An attempt to make depth Psychology accessible to all.

Ab ek baar hamaare operation ke baad hum neend mei dekhe ki pralay (apocalypse) aa gayi hai. Aur hum sab chaand pe pohoch gaye hain. Wahan sab do-do kar ke ek nadi mein kood rahe the, aur kuch log chaar-chaar kar ke kood rahe hain kyuki sab ko jaldi hai..

This dream started around the time of my abuse and was most recurrent especially when the court case was going on. I would wake up in terror, complaining that the 'room is spinning'."

Almost always on point. :)
