Me again!

I guess because I have learnt this latest lesson I just want to shout it out! I want to make others' think? I know making myself think beyond what I have felt has always been a good way forwards for me.....

Our clever old; my mind told me that the 'here and now' was a scary place, because it was the 'here and now' where and when I experienced my trauma - ever since that point in time and subsequent times that I experienced more trauma my clever old mind would be like, 'Okay last time you were here in the 'here and now' you felt overwhelmed, scared, frightened for your life etc etc., so we will take a short vacation away from you for a bit, that way you can still stay alive, you can still 'be' and not become extinct.'

It's the good old learned behaviour theory. We used this technique originally to keep us from further harm - only it no longer serves a purpose! Now we have 'learned' to believe that the 'here and now' is something to fear, something to avoid, so we continue existing in our alternate universes'. The only problem is that this is not conducive to allowing us making all the valuable emotional and intellectual connections concerning how our trauma is affecting us and controlling us.

Q; the here and now is about experiencing this exact moment? Right then, if we are only experiencing this exact moment what have we got to be afraid of? It is what we bring into the 'here and now' that stops us from living in it? Wouldn't you agree?

Crossed wires
That is all this is! The 'here and now' is safe! The 'here and now' will give you all the nourishment you need in order to make those valuable connections and come away from where your trauma holds you a prisoner.

Just think about it Tude..................
