Thank you for sharing this. I commend your courage. I had similar experiences to what you described. In my mid-30s, I sought out the best attachment therapist that I could find. My search was world-wide since I was willing to move to get treatment and me and my husband can work from anywhere.

I found a group in near Boston called the Attachment Institute of New England. Though they predominantly work with children, they agreed to treat me. It completely changed my life and allowed me to overcome and heal from my past. That was 5 years ago and since then, I’ve had children. I know I would not be the parent I am without their help. I only wish I could somehow replicate what they did for me to help more people as I know most people don’t have the luxury of finances and time to do what I was able to do.

My first child is almost 8 weeks old & I'm incredibly grateful for the work myself and my partner have done on ourselves leading up to this point.

Would you be willing to connect outside of this thread to talk about your treatment? I'm writing a book centered on a framework for self programming I'm designing and would love to inform it with the experiences of others. I'm convinced we can mathematically define the human system in a computational/programmatic way and use computer science to figure out language constructs resulting in scripts to follow for achieving what we want our minds/bodies/brains to do (or configuring them however we want). I've been "programming" myself in this way for 2 years and have experienced a lot of rapid change, as a result. I'm hoping the book will help people do the same things you & I have accomplished, but in ways they can adapt to their daily lives so they don't have to take a break from life.

The book will only be sold if there's a structure in place such that one purchase funds several free copies or freely helping others in some financial way. I don't want to profit from its sale.

For those who are believers, there is a no-cost ministry in Tulsa, OK (God's ER, godser.us) that helps people work through trauma by similar means. They also have means of remote ministry. My daughter no longer registers on the autism spectrum after working with this ministry. I have friends that have worked through some heavy things in their past and now have high degrees of emotional function.
