It makes perfect sense that if we are chronically living with unimaginable pain, that we would have to disassociate, shut down or check out. Why would we listen to our guts when all our bodies have ever spoken to us was pain? Disassociation is a survival technique and it’s incredible and we are resilient AF. We will pack things away in boxes until it’s safe enough to look inside. We need support and love to be able to move forward, but that is deeply complex and nuanced for each person. Wounding usually happens in relationships. This makes us afraid of getting close to other people. But here is the good news: there are people out there who desire the same thing as you - loving, lasting relationships. We just need to find each other. AND WE ARE!
