Doing the actual trauma work for me is the hardest thing I have ever done. That is after boing in therapy for 5 yrs about 12 yrs ago. I did no trauma work at that time - just let T know enough to be able to address my issues right then and there - like being sure I was safe and able to finish college. For the past 10 yrs I have been able to maintain a stable existance without a T and without many problems from the DID or the past.

Then one day I was triggered in a bad way by the smell of my new car - who would have thunked that! :-) But work was stressful anyway. And I ended up needing to find a new T. Found one and my soul decided that NOW was when it wanted to do the trauma work.

Sometimes we do not choose when to start our trauma work. Sometimes it decides that it is time. We have to be sensitive to our insides and be ready to do it when it is right for the whole body, mind, and heart. Then we have to be honest with our T and let them know what we need when we need it.

Safe hugs to you!!!!
