I am now acknowledging the emotional pain I am feeling and where those sensations are stored in my body - instead of dissociating or distracting myself from it.

To heal is to sit with yourself and just feel.

My mom texted me the other day, “Your truth is the only truth.” Gratitude to the people who continue to support me.

I’ve reached a point in my healing where I am working on individual and partner exercises to overcome my fear of intimacy. This is the effect of my trauma that has brought me the most shame, and I am proud of myself for being brave enough to address it in therapy and with my partner.

Slowly coming back to myself. I am starting to feel like I am on the same side as my body.

This hobby is a huge contrast to the professional version of myself that I assume during my job. I feel like I have had to make myself more unassuming and more generic to cater to predominantly older, white colleagues or clients.

Hi! I’ve unintentionally taken a hiatus from BlueSky 🦋 I’ve been very busy with work, interviews for new roles, and listening to and honoring my inner child.

“Feeling the need to be busy all the time is a trauma response and fear-based distraction from what you’d be forced to acknowledge and feel if you slowed down.” - Tutu Mora

💚

When I hear a mourning dove,
It's a reminder to myself
To work on releasing
Suppressed grief

Grief that was forbidden to express
In my home environment
"I'll give you something to cry about"
The threat was real

💚

For me, the doves are there
As a reminder to release
What was buried.

I want God, and I want sunlight, and I want to not feel like I am trapped in an art museum in which all the paintings are what I thought my life would be like.

It hurt then, and it hurts now, and it will continue to hurt - but I will love myself through it.

Trying to move through life by giving to others both what I have and what I don’t. Warmth, comfort, food, forgiveness, kindness, acceptance. I want to be to others what I need the most - a blessing.

Wanting to be part of the sky

Something a therapist once said: "You're not healing to be able to handle trauma, pain, anxiety, depression. You're used to those. You're healing to be able to handle joy and to accept happiness back into your life." #psychology #cptsd #traumawork #therapistsky #therapysky #traumainformed
