Writing Wrongs: Trauma & Texts (Jan 6, 2009)

-I liked the opening exercise with the circle, squares, and triangle. I drew a big circle of the world and shaped in countries with me flying in a G4 around it so I got lucky and felt good about myself when you read the descriptions. I felt that it was oddly true how the meanings really did relate to me and things going on in my life right now. Bravo.

-Enjoyed listening to the view of the pysch majors as they shared their thoughts on some of the concepts....in trying to avoid and ignore certain traumatizing thoughts you will actually tend to think about it more, resulting in a build up and bigger chance of exploding in a traumatic flash-back-sort-of-deja-vu experience. Hmm...ponder that one for a second...

-While discussing Forgetting Lot's Wife, we got a little sidetracked with the whole 'was he counscious for the incestuous intercorse or not". I feel that we didn't get to spend as much time on some of the other important ideas from the introduction. But then again Im sure we will endulge in these concepts when we reach them in the core of the book.
