This is so difficult.

There are times when I've had to tap into that and instinct has me to a) run fast and hard, or b) dissociate. I needed to stop that and "sit with the pain". It was/is horrible to do, BUT it helped me probably the most in my therapy.

Sit with it if you can, but you must be acutely aware when too much is occurring and have really good avenues for self-care...safe place, feel good acts, etc.

It is very hard, but can be very rewarding and I know that sounds ridiculous...
