Yes we do heal. I have lived most of my life living in the past and laying it in front of me and completely missing the moment. I have lived in this nightmare so long that I didnt believe a different way of being was possible, but of late I've been hit by this new feeling within me, I was worried at first because it felt so unfamilar, unyet It was wonderful, it was "peace". I ignored it the first few times, not daring to believe it was real and that it could be possible, but its happened a few more times, and when it happens, I loose all fear, suddenly I understand what living in the moment means, I've never had that experience before, the ablity to wake up, not have to fear what this 24hours might bring. Even the changing of the seasons was a big trigger for me I had no inner ablity at all to withstand life, but now, its happening, if I could bottle the feeling and sense of peace that I get at times I'd be rich. I will say though, knowing what I know, there are no meds that will do this, one has to talk their way through the dark until they find the strenght to pick up a torch and finally find success as they walk toward the light. LIfe without that dread and anxeity is fantastic, I wonder, do non traumatised people have this peace naturally? It doesnt matter now, I am just so pleased to have my share of it at last!!!!
