I tend to escape from childhood trauma via daydreaming, but I’m trying to get out of my mind and free the emotions stuck in my body now. It really helps to have a mentor or group to hold me as I heal!
I’ve only read two of your newsletters, but each has felt like such an experience! I really enjoy the format of brief memories with a consistent theme. Looking forward to more!
'freeing the emotions stuck in my body' yes! i think movement really helps with that, whether that's just going to the corner shop or dancing. the idea of a group sounds so healthy! community really is key.
and ahhh thank you so so much! i truly appreciate you reading these little mindless musings <3
i love this. i have tried moving countries to 'run away', and i felt the same being there as i do at home. i think it provides temporary relief, but nothing substantial
me too!!!! literally the main reason i'm in canada right now haha oopsieee.
i guess the good thing about it is that it shows us that the solution has to come from within, and if we'd never left then we'd probably be none the wiser about stuff we have to face up to. now whether we actually get round to facing up to it is a whole other kettle of fish...
this is GOLD !! it is allowing us to take a break and to dive into someone else's memories... memories quite similar to what we can relate to. it's a good feeling to know that you are not alone.
a sentence that i liked : "I discover that memories are waterproof because the knot is still there."
sidenote : luke hemmings wrote an album called ''when facing the things we turn away from'', thought i might share.
