This. Each and every word is felt in my empathic wounded soul. Thank you for speaking the truth. It gives me the hope to speak about my own.

Beautifully stated. I am a trauma therapist and I work with survivors of sexual assault. Many live in the freeze response of telling their story. I use the polyvagal theory as a lens in which I provide therapy and help clients befriend their nervous system. Once our nervous system feels safe and connected we can begin to speak those words which have kept us frozen. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
