@heyhannah19: healing complex trauma often means asking your nervous system to do the very thing it spent years learning wasn’t safe. So when someone struggles to be vulnerable in therapy, I wish we’d stop calling them “resistant”. Sometimes the bravest thing a person can do is sit on that couch while every part of their body is telling them to run. #complextrauma #therapy #healing
As someone who’s been in regular talk therapy for over 5 years and then 2 months into IFS trauma therapy. It is icky and gross, and scary. But also feels safe and I know it’s good for me and is exactly what I need. But it’s so unfamiliar compared to talk therapy

Yes! My lady clocked me on session two. She was like for this to work we have to trust each other and I feel like trust is so hard for you.
