It does hurt. It can change. |
Those of us who hold trauma in our brains and bodies experience layers of pain. What you remember hurts. What you don't remember is almost worse. You don't trust. You feel hypervigilant because it hasn't always been safe for you in your life. Perhaps traditional 10-session talk- therapy hasn't worked for you. (It's not meant for you. Your life has been different.) You may not think therapy will ever work for you. But you are here. You know that you deserve better than you are experiencing. I can't take away your past, but I can help you accept it instead of hiding from it. Living becomes easier when you accept yourself. I'm delighted that you are here. |
