It is 2012. You are safely at home with your dog. You are wearing a black shirt and pj pants that are silky. It's cold in here, even though your thermostat reads 70 degrees. Your dog is right behind you on the couch. She's sleeping. She's upset with you, because you wouldn't let her go outside with the kids tonight. Your apartment is clean. But lets not mention the kitchen okay? You are typing in PC's board. You are okay. Nobody is here that can hurt you. Your door is locked and your neighbors are safe people.

You are safe. It is 2012.

((safe hug)) Lydia, you will be okay. Your safe, and no one is going to hurt you. Pc is here for you when you need a safe place to tell us what's going on, I'm glad you know that. You are an amazing person, and I'm sorry your scared right now, but it will be okay.

Your safe. It's 2012, your at home and safe and your going to be okay.

Youre second post sounds like my inner helper. I didnt realize others had inner helpers like that too. I hope you're doing alright now, flashbacks can be hell.

Great job here! That is a wonderful way to stay safe. It is very important for us to know which alter we can go to for help when things feel unsafe. It takes a team to survive at times!

I did not know either. But I wouldn't be alive without that inner helper. Let me tell you.
