3) There are tools I am learning which will allow me to properly feel the emotions in a safe and cathardic way - and in my own time.

4) As each memory is experienced and processed safely, the emotional charge is lowered.

5) My support system is in place, I will use this to allow me to complete the safe processing of trauma.

6) My T told me (and I choose to believe him) that we must fully experience the stages of grief for each memory. But once those stages are experienced and the grief is processed, that is it. It is just a matter of allowing the process of experience and healing for each item to occur.

7) The future is mine and not my abusers.

So this is what I am thinking about this post - hope it helps in some way.

I agree with all of this.
