I could only remember one safe place to go and I still go there. You must have a very positive attitude to surpass all disturbances around and inside you before you go to that "happy" place in your mind and think "happy" things Vision, it's wonderful.
If you had a vehicle hit your home or someone knock on your door and yell FIRE ! I would guess for a few short moments your mind would be on your own safety or others safety or on something you want to save. Where was the pain Vision? Same place but your mind rose above it. If your mind can do it and you don't know it then you have the power to train your mind to do it when you desire it to do so. It takes training but it worked for me. I am surprised no one else has used it in here. It seems as we all have pain that rumble and rumble and thoughts that tumble and tumble and dreams that crumble and crumble but we still fight on. RSD has won the battle but it won't win the WAR !!

I totally agree. It's the most difficult thing I've ever done. I wasn't able to knock out the 10 level pain on demand either. The interesting thing was that the more I meditated on doing physical, active things pain free, the more my overall baseline pain levels went down. Finally one morning I woke up and my leg was "mine" again. The pain was gone and has not been back since.
I am sorry to hear you had such a difficult childhood. I actually used my past memories primarily as a jump start of my own creative capacity for imagination. (It had been a long time and my creativity was very limited at first.) Once I was able to visualize certain happy places from my past, I got much better at creating my own new realities, and I created new places to be rather than revisiting the same old memories repeatedly.
Once I started creating new "happy places" from scratch, the transition from "imagination" to "reality" became less and less of a shock to the system.
