The process of healing

I have been asked by more than one person recently to describe how I arrived at the updates (as I've been calling them) to my brain. I expect it to be a multiple post answer, and to cover a lot of history. I'm not, at this point, shy about discussing it, but I wonder if you are ready for it. I was not planning on filtering any more than the sum of my friends-list if at all, but if any of you have strong opinions before I get going over the next few days, here is the place to express them.
