My childhood trauma broke loose in my mid 50’s with a vengeance, life changed drastically, my nervous system exploded.
Improving (healing) was slow, arduous and painful. Took five years of all out effort with the new tools and skills I acquired.
My spirit was triumphant, much much freer, calmer as life had real joy for the first time. That horrible haunting feeling stopped, that unworthy to the core feeling dissipated.
To my shock five months ago, another super charged, hidden trauma exploded. Determined to quickly integrate this new trauma, frustration ensued.
I would meditate, let it go, time after time. Two days later the intrusive thoughts returned.
Three times these thoughts ceased for a couple of days only to return in force.
From my perch: Reading many, many books, meditating five hours a day, actively participating in therapy and applying all the skills learned, I was not your normal PTSD client a therapist would see.
I was a great success healing the first time. My therapist and friends agreed.
Now, confused, these same skills, more mature and adept, fail to impact this new trauma.
I revisited the Internal Family System therapy, it seems betrayal is my kryptonite.
It is like my soul, my spirit, my core Or my ego fears anihilation from this event and will not let go.
Hell no, I do not understand it. I know rationally it is the distant past and no danger is present.
Knowing that, life is still a rollercoaster ride at times.
He is an irrational ghost with inside power, who holds me in this invisible prison.
This monster (PTSD) runs on its own, has enormous power at times, and robs us.
For me, I am engaged in the battle again, maybe lost but looking for the crack in its armor.
