I traded places with an NHI on the other side and it was the most blissful and then most traumatic experience of my life. Could also use some aftercare advice. — I’ve been into the weird my whole life, from having frequent future-telling Déjà vu loops as a kid to following the fringe subs here for a few years. I’ve tried CE5 and that didn’t work, neither did s…

In college and still think about my avoidant ex after almost a year — Hi hi, I haven't seen enough discourse on healing from an avoidant ex and I have definitely not seen enough discourse on healing from an avoidant ex while being at the same college together. My ex an…

Here's my thoughts after being on this subreddit for a while, and I am someone who has been daily practicing for the past 8+ months with no physical results. 1. Maladaptive daydreaming proves that ma…
