I think what I love most about reading is that it's the one place where your ego has no power. It's literally the only conversation where you're not allowed to speak. You just sit there and fully receive it and you can't cut it off or talk over it. You're just surrendering over and over again, and I think we seriously underestimate how rare and powerful that actually is.
turns out, reading a lot, exercising, loving people without expecting anything back, protecting your alone time, focusing only on improving yourself, and sometimes staying out late with friends who make you laugh until it hurts is a pretty good way to live.
And damn, she was so right. Having the right therapist to guide me through with patience, compassion, understanding, and consideration has been crucial to saving my life. I’m still have hard work to do, but I can finally see the clouds parting.
This is how my therapy has gone and it was such a gradual, natural process. Forever grateful to have found my therapist. To feel safe, seen, and supported is soo important, especially if you have CPTSD.
Creating safety inside our head & heart isn't some touchy feely bullsh*t I write to get internet clicks. Internal safety is a prerequisite to realistic learning & nervous system change. Scared, shamed, & hurting brains & bodies aren't receptive to new patterns or habits.
I hadn’t even realized what she was doing until I got to a zone of safety within myself (which has taken 2 years). Once I finally arrived, she told me that it had to happen this way, otherwise I would have walked right out the door.
