It took a good while for me to start therapy as well haha. It is scary.. I was terrified of what I’d find out and to expose myself. But it wasn’t bad at all. The fear of it was far worse than the process. And the most difficult bits were also the most healing. Let me know if you have any questions ❤️
You’re definitely not alone in this. Matches really closely with my experience. As long as I can remember I can’t recall childhood memories to the point that the child version of me feels like a different person - dissociation is strong. It’s been bothering me more and more and has had me thinking something traumatic must have happened because what else would explain it?
I’ve been in therapy for half a year now and learning a lot about myself. I’ve been doing EMDR with my therapist and it’s been enlightening. I haven’t uncovered any specific major traumatic event yet but I’m connecting with suppressed and abandoned parts of myself. For the moment I’m going with the assumption that I have CPTSD (complex PTSD) which is a chronic version of the acute PTSD. I’ve also learned I have a fearful (or disorganized) attachment style and am a carrier of toxic shame so I’d recommend looking into those concepts since they seem to correlate.
I’m proud of you for posting and questioning - you’re on the path, my friend :)
I was just passing through the state and had already left by the time I posted the pic :/ didn’t consider they could have been abandoned at the time.. there were humans around camping though so maybe they just strolled off for some snack time
Not my bunny. I took the picture in Washington state’s Olympic Peninsula near a camping ground. There were actually two bunnies that looked nearly identical! I didn’t try to get close but they seemed wary of me
Asking for the benefit of your comment, friend
/s?
Hillary Clinton pops out of her hole
Once? The only other comment I left was asking what policy change someone was referring to
Alright I get that.. but that’s not a policy change.. maybe seems pedantic but a policy change is a codified change in institutional behavior. That’s quite different from a warning or public signal
I genuinely don’t understand what victory you’re referring to.. much less some monumental victory. Am I missing something?
What policy change are you referring to? I didn’t see any mentioned in the article. Looks like business as usual despite the clear evidence of genocide aided by US weaponry
FYI no therapist should ever say this. There are definitely situations in which it’s necessary to lock someone out ☺️
