More things coming through. The friend who was trying to cross my boundaries is now being very respectful of them. It's really noticeable, a big change. It honestly feels as though patterns have shifted.

I also have this deep feeling of security, like "I've got this, I can do this".

I said yesterday that I'd had EFs, but on reflection I realise that they weren't :doh:. It was a convenient way of expressing that I didn't feel great, but they weren't EFs. I'd been grieving as part of releasing long-held patterns, and while I was grieving, several triggering events cropped up. These were related to the patterns I was releasing. At the time I felt as though I'd been really unlucky with the timing of those events as I would have been OK with just one or two, but I now realise that they helped me to release more than I could have done without them.

I also realise that I faced those triggering events and did something about the ones that I could. Plus I notice that I've said I would have been OK with one or two triggers at a time of grieving. This actually makes me feel more resilient, as I know that it's true.

Lots of insights and realising. Glad I got that out. Feeling good. <runs back to work>

I've heard of other people doing this, having a dedicated therapeutic space in the place where they live. I think the key thing is that you've checked her background, and if you find she doesn't feel right for you, you don't have to go back.

Thanks both. :grouphug:

I've been a bit quiet because over the past few days I've experienced several different triggers, and these sparked EFs. I'm coming out of it now.

I may go a bit quiet on the forum for a while as I need to catch up on some work which has a fixed deadline. Sending love and hugs to you all. :grouphug:

It makes me wonder about neglect as well, as your needs weren't met. It's certainly not right, and I'm sorry you went through it.

I heard the story on the UK news. The coverage was very trauma-aware and positive, despite the horrific circumstances. I have so much respect for her.
