This so resonates with me, and it was a very memorable moment in T when something shifted in me and I saw this. My version of this was that it wasn't about me that the people who were supposed to protect me didn't during my childhood; it wasn't that I was unworthy of protection or that they knew or didn't know or that I did or didn't disclose enough, etc. etc.

For me it was disorienting in an almost physical way, like when you're sitting in a train at a station and the train next to you starts to move, and you think that your train is moving but then you realize you are standing still and it's the next train on the track moving.

I sometimes think of these times where the puzzle pieces break up and then reconvene in a totally different picture as a kaleidoscope moment. It also feels disorienting for a bit, like the train next to you moving, at least to me. In that split second when the pieces fragment and before they become something else, I feel myself shift too. And the sense of wonderment when the new picture forms, it's stunning.
