Hi David
This is my point of view.
<I get a tired spell which I fall asleep for 5-10-15 or even 30 minutes (
depending how much stress I am under)... This is not due to a lack of
sleep>
It seems to me that your snap is just a survival ("an escape from a rough &
dangerous reality") strategy, learned from your dad, and with your dad.
< I had this problem since I was about 14>
What happens one to four months before your fist "nap"? TB it all.
<I think the problem is due to getting a lot of severe beatings as a kid
for being a bad boy, from dad. of which the earliest occurred at about 4 or
5 yrs of age.>
Remember and TB all events you had being beaten or even threatened by your
dad.
<Besides the sleep problem in school, I would always get lost when changing
class rooms and going to the washroom. >
You probably got stressed already, but you were on your feet and busy
physically. You avoided sleep but got confused and disoriented. You were
just urging for a nap.
<I could not put "stopped for nap" in my log books.>
You should. That was a safety procedure that some drivers in my country
should take to prevent accidents, but don't.
<I would "pass out" a few minutes after getting "in session". It was
extremely difficult for me to get audited. And frustrating.>
The auditing (and TB too) is a technique to face our fear. It is normal to
use our escape strategies when dealing with. You snapped. I got cold. Most
procrastinate.
<Now when I do TROM and especially R!s, I usually pass out.>
When you do RI you know that you are preparing to do more timebreaks (facing
your fears). It can give you a lot of stress, also.
<I find RIs pretty difficult to do. But I do do some. I usually pass out
after doing TBing if I am sitting on my sofa chair doing it. I guess that is
why I get better results while walking.>
It is the same as classroom changing at 14: you don't sleep, but urges for a
snap.
<Could these be considered "walk-ins". If you know what walk-ins are?>
As stated by Zivorad, "walk-ins" always feel their reality a strange one.
The only way we can take rid of ours fear is facing them without escape. We
hate the fear we feel when we look at them. But we must want to feel our
fear until we got accustomed to them. Then we will be freed.
Your main problem with facing you fears is that you must be aware to decide
it. So your reactive mind will "snap" you every time your fear got to high.
Try to see in your snap the game with your reactive mind, and try to see the
fun in it, because all games are to be fun.
You started trom and reduced the snaps. You are getting better. You are
getting accustomed to yours fears. Sooner or later you will be free.
I hope it helps.
