Going through the traumas again and just so much like I am overly exposed, like somone took my skin or clothes off or something.
Therapy, helped and grounding helped but the flashback on the next one is so incredibly strong. Holding off the tidal wave of it is almost impossible. Trying some distractions...works but in between feelings of exposed, raw, just want to hide curled up. Will try to get calm, not sure why even posting can't read your posts, so do really feel so worthy to receive any response. I don't know maybe I need response. If you can't it's okay. I don't really know what I need. I need a blanket, maybe 10.

(((((Hunny))))) May tons of soft, fuzzy and warm blankets float down from the heavens and curl around your body in a cocoon of love from all of us.

I know exactly the feeling you are describing. So exposed it's like layers of your skin have been taken off. No wonder you want 10 blankets.
When I feel that way, often nothing can help me feel better; it feels like everything I try just scrapes more skin away. Facing the traumas is so, so hard. I'm sorry it hurts so bad. There's another side to this journey, and you are on your way there. |

I feel for you,I know that "exposed" feeling - like I got a flashing neon sign up over my head and everyone can see what a horrible life I live,person I am. I have just started with a T and we are working on staying grounded, but she reminds me each time that there is a time coming where I will face the traumas themselves...I am looking forward and scared to death at the same time, I have an avoidence and there is the dissassociation thing I do...What I try to do right after a flash is watch a sitcom or read a fiction book - some thing to distract and provide an escape till things calm down a little and I can breathe again.... somedays I wish a burka was a fashion option then no one could see me...<small timid smile> hope you feel a little better soon you are not alone

Julial, Grizmom, Skeksi, Crew, Stove14, TheByzantine:
Thank you each one for your support and caring words. Soft blankets from heaven, warm fuzzy hugs from kittens, turning to focus on the other-side-of-the-trauma, 22 blankets to make a safe-fort, sit-coms, novels and burkas, all. Thanks! I re-read your posts several times as I processed this traumas and hoped to be able to respond later, so I am doing that now. I really find the process was building until the session of dealing with a specific trauma and dissociation. Denial only works for so long. I am so thankful for your coming-along-side.

Glad to hear from you, Hunny! I know my dark periods make me run and hide from life when I burn with sensitivity. Painful process, growing that fragile second skin. Sun screen doesn't seem to help, but quiet time, good t's and the community at PC can. Hang in there, ((((Hunny))))

It waivers between grieving, denial and standing for justice, oh and very, very tired.
But, there seems to be a relief and space or something like an airiness. So, am trying to just feel the feelings without going to the nether world of dissociation. Cheers all, Hunny |
