...my subconscious has the power to break past my careful defenses. Thank you both for your insights. As long as I can remember, I've been depressed. Everyone's memory of my childhood is that I was a happy little girl who woke up every morning saying "Good morning, Sunshine!" This gives me hope that I can "peel the onion" far enough to reveal the core, happy me.
Despite the work I've done in therapy and recovery, I suspect that there's something I just don't remember or something I'm severely minimizing that's keeping me blocked. I thought maybe hypnosis would be the only way to get at it. Now I see that there may be another way.
