It's been a while since I've written about my healing journey. There's been a profound shift in the last little bit which has been quite interesting and I am excited for where it's going to lead me. In past IFS sessions I would approach my hurting parts from the past with my present self but now I seem to be approaching them with my future self which is quite interesting. There is a lot of different things that have led to this shift and... FYI if you are religiously christi

With the cooler weather I've been thinking of holidays and what kind of holiday traditions I want to start for myself and eventually perhaps for the friends who may join me down through the years. I'm not up for a lot of sweets but I do like trying new foods so I've found a few that I'd like to use as way to celebrate autumn and it's beauty. Let's start with bread: https://pin.it/7aXGiAHiP First I want to mention this pear bread. It's got good reviews on Pinterest and even th

I am a bit hesitant to share all this stuff because I have experienced people who call themselves christians to lash out or try to tell me I'm wrong or that I'm going off the deep end, or to hell basically, because of the choices I've made in the past and... honestly, I expect more down the road. But if you're here reading this I hope you will be open minded and at least follow along on my journey of curiosity. This is about me and where I'm at. It has nothing to do with you.

Yesterday was the third time that I spent time with Rose, my therapy horse. She is brown all over with a big round belly. Last week when I was there, towards the end of our session, my horse therapist took me over to a whiteboard on the other side of the arena to show me how human brains work different than horse brains. In the middle was 4 boxes shaped as an upside down triangle. The bottom box was named something equivalent to survival mode. The next one said movement and b

If you have been following my story lately you may have heard that I was in the shelter for 7 months...it really took me for a loop mentally and emotionally. My trauma professional put in countless hours to put up a fundraiser for me and someone else who also needed aid. I found a place but they asked for a double deposit because of my income level. I used most of my savings to pay half of the deposit just to hold the key because they were the first to even be willing to wor

TW: Child Sexual Abuse I haven't been writing much lately. I've been wanting to but the words inside my head are just all jumbled and my thoughts are having a hard time untangling themselves. There for a while I was writing and painting after almost every therapy session but I guess being stuck in the shelter for 7 months really took a toll on me. I've been in my own space for almost 3 weeks now. I feel like everything is starting to find it's home and I'm getting used to my

On Sunday night I had an individual slip into my DMs implying that she's doing well but that I'm not because I'm not trying hard enough. I'm guessing that she saw the video my trauma professional posted regarding my situation and felt she needed to tell me that I need to try harder. I forwarded the messages to my trauma professional because I wanted to make sure I respond appropriately. I told that individual that everyone's journey is different and that what works for her m
