I get transported back in time whenever anyone has a strong opinion because I feel like my opinion just doesn't matter or isn't important. Sometimes I think that the other person must be right and I must be wrong. Yesterday's trigger was very powerful - I felt very powerless and helpless. I actually felt like I was in my old 7 yr. old body. Any advice with how to deal with this while it is happening and how to work on finding my voice would be greatly appreciated...
I think it depends on the response to our "voice". I know each time I "spoke" a little more and T heard me and validated me and didn't abuse me, it became normal to have a voice. She gave me space to have a voice. Once we get that there is no going back.
Thanks for this!
