Started to deep dive into healing childhood trauma that was recently triggered. I thought I had put it all behind me and now realize my personality is a hodge-podge of survival techniques. Yay me! But what I didn't expect was the self-reticence and dismissive feelings leading to avoidance of entering into the fray of memories.
I have to really be in the mood to work on it even as I know it is the best thing for me. I really hate the struggle.
@Dane That's a lovely way to look at it, thank you. 💟
@ChippySuave I’m about to embark on what may be similar journey. I wish you luck and strength and compassion and kindness.
@Flibitz I wish you grace and luck. 🤗
Keep breathing. Therapy will light your way.
@ChippySuave You are not alone in this. I only recently had to come to grips with similar issues. My therapist had to pretty much drag me to the realization.
You got this. And we've got your back.
@Saorsa Likewise... I am here for you any time you may have need. 🤗
@ChippySuave I'm not minimizing. "my personality is a hodge-podge of survival techniques". What a great way of putting it. I feel like this may be a good description of many of us, regardless of our individual backgrounds. I sincerely wish you the best in your journey.

They got you this far. Go easy on yourself. Imagine what a sweet Grandmother would tell you about what you've done so far to survive.
