Atypical Trans Late Bloomer

These are some movies I've come across that were helpful to me regarding being beaten as a child. Affliction . This is an amazing movie about the end-state of a dysfunctional family, showing the varying effects of trauma on people in their 50's, and the slow departure from mainstream priorities. I'm amazed that it was made as a commercial movie. Good Will Hunting . Although I tend to avoid Affleck-Damon movies, this was very good. Deals with the 22-year old vintage of trauma results.

Fascinating article in the NYT about "prospection" and a new thought in psychology that rather than being homo sapiens, we are homo prospectus - forward-thinking, or forward-imagining, creatures. see: Prospective Psychology. The thing is, when I read this article and saw the image above, my first impression was a collection of nooses, rather than a collection of light bulbs.
