Lost In You
Stephen Barnes: In the last 24 hours, I’ve dealt with four different students or clients where the core issue is one of self-love. Deservement. The following things were triggers:
1) Childhood abuse, both sexual and psychological. Being touched inappropriately, told they are worthless, used as “things” rather than people before the full development of ego walls.
2) Perceived betrayal of childhood ambitions. Either giving them up, or doing things to achieve them that were in violation of core values.
3) Abusive adult relationships. “Crazymakers” who bond to you powerfully economically, emotionally, or sexually. And then...gaslight you. If you don’t know the term, see the movie. Basically these are people who are either emotionally imbalanced or have some drive to unbalance you, keep you from leveraging your intelligence and emotions, with an end to domination. To do this, they either criticize or terrorize you, until you have twisted yourself into a knot to please them, and no longer know where “north” is on your personal compass. At that point, you are infantalized, willing to do whatever it takes to keep them happy so that you can escape the pain. Brutal.
4) Physical injury or dysfunction. A serious injury or disease, or your body “not working as it is supposed to”--inability to perform in some expected fashion. Inability to sustain a pregnancy, sensory or motor issues, chronic pain, sexual non-performance, etc.
5) Making terrible relationship choices. Our relationships are mirrors--they were the best we believed we could do, at that time. When our partners turn out to be crazies, monsters, abusers, habitual liars, druggies or alcoholics, rage-beasts and gaslighters we fear our own judgement. How could we have..? What does it mean about us..? Will we ever find happiness..? Are we too broken for anyone to really love us..?
There are more, of course. But this will get you started.

Lyrics - [Chorus:]
Please don't leave me I need you I might not wear it on my sleeve Baby, can you be mine to keep? Please don't let go I need you Cause tonight I need to sleep And darling, you're my counting sheep. Darling, you’re my counting sheep. Darling, you’re my counting sheep. Darling, you’re my-- oh, Darling, you’re my counting sheep. Darling, you’re my counting sheep. Darling, you’re my--
Hold on to me And never let go Cause the touch of your soft skin Is what keeps me breathing Keeps me breathing..
Oh, sing to me until your mouth turns dry Cause these out of tune notes with a whelming background Keeps me breathing Keeps me breathing
[Chorus]
They say sleep is for the weak But it's the only time I get to think About you Oh, sleep is for the weak But it's the only time I get to think About you Without being interrupted Without being interrupted So...
[Chorus]
They say sleep is for the weak But it's the only time I get to think About you without being interrupted So..
[Chorus]
Darling, you're my counting sheep (x4) Darling, you're my-- Darling, you're my-- Darling, you're my counting sheep
Awwwww I love this song <3
