I didn't quite have to explain to them about it, I just showed them: here-- allow me to bring up a traumatic topic. here-- watch me go bye bye.
T characterized the first few mos of working with me once as me being very "spaced out". Commenting how I seem to be more present lately.
A lot of it has to do with safety. Almost like there's a bell curve, on one side I don't feel safe enough to allow myself to go anywhere. In the middle I am scared, but somewhat trusting that nothing bad will happen to me- then I go off to lala land. then there's the other end of the bell curve, in which I feel so safe in the situation that I can be present.
It's a constant slide.
