Somatic experiencing..? (TW)

[Rowan]

Hi all,

We're still surviving yay

It's been an eventful few weeks, our T is running tests, and who knows where it will end up, but at least we will have a start to be able to work with.

Now, the past is buried - very few memories and recollections, but sometimes, little flashes will peek through. But, today, we are struggling with feeling like we have been strangled. It's very disconcerting and uncomfortable, although I am able to remind us that it is in the past, and not right now.

And then we thought that this would be a great idea for a thread, so that newbies know that they're not alone, and we can ground ourselves in the present.

   at least that experience was better than our last round of somatic experiences ... literally a PITA... not pleasant... or the sore mouth/jaw... but they do subside eventually, and we can carry on.

Lots of self-talk and care
