Introducing myself - hi, my name is Layla :-)

[LaylaDalal]

Hi,
My name is Layla and I'm glad to have landed here. My journey is still very hard to talk about so I prefer to take it step by step but I wanted to say hello here already. I'm only now figuring out how strongly my life is impacted by dissociative states, amnesia and chronic pain. I also believe that these "issues" are my gifts and my road to recovery. I've come a long road from getting sober from alcohol and being in recovery with sex addiction and codependency. These groups help me a lot but I do feel that they cannot hold the severity of my traumatic past. And eventhough I struggle to speak (or even write, only some parts have access) about it, I do feel, I need to find groups who specifically share awareness around their very traumatic experiences, to feel safe enough to open up. Hoping, that this can be a space here at some point. Thank you for reading! ❤️

Welcome, Layla. 
I'm glad you're here, and you're welcome to move at your own pace - there's no rush and no obligation to share more than feels right. 💛
