Hmm.. I think ptsd's traumatic events are kind of physically more traumatic. As it includes gunfire, blasts and gore. But yes i agree, the premise should remain the same.

hmm...also what you said about psychological time is interesting

as@Shanmugam said. Some sort of identification with thoughts, emotions or twisted beliefs.

They are not beliefs about Absolute Truth. As I said these are effects of enlightenment. The effects are not it(Truth). Also these have come from experience, not from someone elses words

@Faceless Also I want to study how various types of neurosis are manifested. Thats why I was searching a good book on it.

I am not studying myself, I want to study it from an expert who has experience with other clients

For example you start doing something which adds to your self identity. eg. A businessman keeps working just because he believes that if he stops working hard, he would be fired, or maybe he is a failure. But is that really true? You must ask yourself this, is this action that I am performing is out of compulsiveness or consciousness? Dont make "I am the dude who just chills and lets go" an identity.

Alright Thx for the recommendations

You can be identified with actions. There is no such thing as self image, its just a cluster of beliefs about oneself.

@Shanmugam Do you know any good book on neurosis?

Just a suggestion, dont make chilling and letting go an identity

good stuff cheers

Goddamit I have already read every book on that list

You have a very naive idea of what ego is man

thx, what about philosophy and spirituality? what books do you recommend other than Osho?

lol psych brothers

I have already bought the book, it hasnt shipped yet. Can u recommend some other books and textbooks?

You too?

Where did you read about this? I am gonna be studying psychology in college so its better if I know stuff like this

So basically identifying with thoughts, emotions and beliefs causes neurosis?

I feel like this thread is gonna get locked

@Ether Ah, not a big fan of rap and hip hop...you like those genres though it seems

For example?

Such passion is always a pleasure to see. I used read ayn rand a lot.

Ayn Rand fanboy huh?
