Steve M...Here We Go

[SteveM]

I've been busy the last few weeks since the visit to my early childhood home, it's been a good busy . Did lots of projects at camp and I love doing them. However, I feel the end of Summer approaching and the diminishing daylight, I just don't want summer to go!

I also feel myself slipping into ungroundedness, if that's a word. In my head Im having some some negative self talk which usually ends up in the place of " what happened to me wasn't that bad stop wining. Which leads to, "maybe nothing really happened, you are making this up".

I have to state to people that understand severe childhood trauma: horrible things did happen to me  for many years, it was real, I survived, I'm safe, people love me, and I have the capacity and ability to love others well".

That is my truth today.

Yup. It did happen. It's normal that your brain does this loop. You know that. Doesn't make it easier.  I know that.
