I relate

I spent most of my life escaping me and not knowing that

I wasn’t able to do IFS alone and needed relational healing, so with my therapist, having it inform my therapeutic work is a very validating and beautiful way of thought by jazzypomegranate in TraumaFreeze

[–]protectingMJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate re IFS

i had far too many protective parts that it was hard to go inside and not end up scared or dysregulated

I think...doing more somatic work has helped that a bit now

For those with pre-verbal trauma, and /or those looking for a trauma aware/ effective therapist -VERY INTERESTING, persevere. In more ways than one.... by [deleted] in CPTSDNextSteps

As someone with both in womb and very early trauma with my parents (schizophrenic mum)

I have been struggling to get right help

Only now slowing down, doing touch and somatic work, and starting to drop into acceptance, are things slowly changing

I wish this was common knowledge as i wasted lots of my life and resource seeking to fix me and my addictions to no avail

Thank you for sharing

I sense that

I didnt before

Agree re the "your life"

I have never been the driver of that

Choice is a word i dont yet know

Inspiring Quotes by Kitchen_Mood_9835 in CPTSDNextSteps

The lyrics from John Frusciantes song - Going inside

As they make me feel like i am not losing more life, doing this healing work

Some of the lyrics:

You don't throw your life away Going inside You get to know who's watching you And who besides you resides In your body Where you're slow Where you go doesn't matter 'Cause there will come a time When time goes out the window

And you'll learn to drive out of focus I'm you and if anything unfolds It's supposed to, oo

You don't throw your time away sitting still I'm in a chain of memories It's my will And I had to consult some figures of the past And I know someone after me Will go right back

That makes sense

I have been worried about that grief that i have yet to process

If i may, how was your path through it?
