Facing and Defeating Your Traumatic Emotional Dragons

I became aware of this process (of repression) in myself when I began to write my Story of Origins – (See NTS eBook No.2).  It took me a long time to ‘fish up’ some key memories, with bruised emotions attached. And to use those clues to build plausible stories of surrounding events and ‘realities’.

In moving on to write my novel about the life of Daniel O’Beeve – which is a heavily fictionalized autobiographical novel – I discovered the mechanism of ‘repression’ of painful emotional trauma, when I was describing Daniel, at the age of 19 years, being rejected by the girl he loved.
