One of her coping techniques was self-hypnosis. She became very good at it, until she had an "out-of-body" experience. It frightened her so badly that she quit using hypnosis. It was a shame as it was one of the most effective things she ever did for those "more pain than she could stand" days.

Years ago, I was wat...Love this post, great topic.<br /><br />Years ago, I was watching a biography on a famous actor and they showed a clip of him being interviewed by Art Linklater on "This Is Your Life" - said actor was a recovering alcoholic, and he mentioned one of the first things he had to learn was there would never be a time when it was okay for him to have a drink, that for the rest of his life he'd be a recovering alcoholic. THAT was the biggest shock to most people heading into rehab: they thought by getting their problem under control, they could then drink responsibly - they had no idea getting their problem under control meant never drinking again. THAT was the first hurdle: realizing a life-long condition means it's a condition you have the rest of your life.<br /><br />You are soooooooo awesome.
