I'm sorry you've been in such abusive and triggering situations, EA. Do the domestic violence hotlines have any helpful suggestions or resources to help you get out of the living situation and find a less abusive job that will allow you to get your feet under you?

 

I'm sorry, it's a lot to be going through.

I'm really relieved to hear you are out of that dangerous living situation, EA.

Thanks for clarifying. Sometimes I find when I am writing, my inner child also comes out too. Usually when that happens I am triggering myself and need to take a step away from writing or processsing for awhile to focus on core needs like eating, drinking water, sleeping, laughing, and getting a walk. Sometimes unfortunately we can trigger ourselves and it's important to be gentle with ourselves.

hey, EA, i have not read walker's book, but i know many people here have and have found it very helpful.

the idea that we're told our suffering is our own fault is abusive in itself, to my mind.  same w/ 'too sensitive'.  i once heard of someone replying to that 'i'm as sensitive as i need to be for me'.  i liked that because i'm also very sensitive and often wish i weren't but there it is.  in that way i am who i am.  you are who you are as well.  trauma is a beast whose jaws and teeth get under our skin, constantly gnawing at us. (until it gets resolved, which is often small piece by small piece).  of course we're sensitive.  who wouldn't be when they're constantly distressed by being gnawed at!  love and hugs
