Guest guest Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 My T gave me this quote from Alice : " The truth about our childhood is stored up in our body, and although we repress it, we can never alter it. Our intellect can be deceived, our feelings manipulated, our perceptions confused, our body tricked with medication. But someday the body will presents its bill, for it is as incorruptible as a child, who, still whole in spirit, will accept no compromises or excuses, and it will not stop tormenting us until we stop evading the truth. " My body has presented the bill. I have made great strides when it comes to breaking down my wall of defenses, but now (and sorry for the gross analogy), I am throwing up all the emotional pain. Now I have to actually deal with it- feel it, understand it, let it go. Ugh. Just like throwing up- I fear it, I hate it, but I feel better when I get it out. KO's- allow yourself to feel the pain and emotion. I would try to rationalize it, saying, oh come on it couldn't have been THAT bad. Well guess what- it was. And even if it wasn't by someone else's standards- it doesn't matter. We hurt. We were very, very hurt. That's what matters. If you are like me, stop trying to downgrade the pain and just accept that yes, it HURT LIKE HELL. Now cradle and comfort that little boy or girl that you were and tell them they are safe.
