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 . 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.
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.

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.
