@mote.of.soul, thank you for your kind response. I’m sorry it’s taken so long to reply, hasn’t been an easy time of it lately. I’ve not really had the positive feelings about me or my body. It’s always been full of hatred or pain. I’m not having those vivid visions anymore, or at least haven’t in a while, but do still feel unsafe and vulnerable. The more I open up, the worse it seems to feel. And, I’ve identified, the more I seem to binge! Being reminded of horrific things sends me right back. My body hurts and I feel things inside I’d much rather forgot!! I’m trying, and often feel like I’m failing

@wordshaker, thank you for your kind reply too. I’ve started reading that book, oh months ago I think now, but didn’t get very far. It’s very difficult to follow. The way it’s written is not in the best format. While I’m not thick by any measure, for something as important and deep as body memories, trauma and trauma responses, I think it needed to be dulled down a bit more. It’s not an easy read from what I’ve discovered so far, but I do wanna read it. I will, in time. Thank you for your healing thoughts, same back to you!
