No one talks about how hard it is to overcome the anxious attachment style that has been forged in you since your traumatic childhood.

Or maybe they do and my ears just don’t listen because I’m hyper focused on the whisper of true healing from within.

But this kind of tender whispering from outside one self…wow. The younger lost me really could’ve used that act of comfort in the middle of the night.

They’re starting to now. I have a couple good books, have to still read them all the way through though. Here’s one of them.

Right?

And never mind just in childhood either.

I could have used a little bit of that these past 3 years...

It is what it is.
To be so at peace that you dont take silence for anger or mistrust.

@0uijaFinger What a beautiful state to be in 😌
I’m working on not overthinking the small stuff.

Growing up, there was really nothing but trauma, and I think overthinking became my way of protecting myself. I’d just pull inward every time.

@Bexsy Inward felt like the only safe place, but even there monsters exist. I wish we both could give our childhood selves a long tight hug and tell them it’ll be okay.
@PerfectionOfTheHeart me too, truly
All of my life ...the minute something feels off ...even a little ...I pull away and shut down..withdraw into myself

That abandonment wound is real and trauma is real ... but working on it is a life long process

@chernobylplaygr0unds Same, same.

And my gosh, is it a lengthy and difficult process…one that we’re not even educated on. We just have to figure it out for ourselves 😕
@PerfectionOfTheHeart yes exactly...we are just white nuckling it through life
