In my mind I would feel worthy and trust people if I healed.
.
.
Somehow I would have a slew of trusted friends.
Worthiness and trust are strangers to my life, criticism and violence were my childhood companions.
Next in public, in social interactions, I would feel free and easy, having a strong desire for community and relationships.
Then my nervous system would calm, spotting danger would subside, feeling connections would replace isolation, and finally at least a week of happy-go-lucky experiences.
Triggers would disappear, intrusive thoughts would be gone, and anxiety would be replaced with a calm confident demeanor.
I would feel secure and safe.
Traumatic memories would be buried and never be resurrected again.
I think I would faint from euphoria.
What would healing look like for you?
