Shrinking - 1x10 - “Closure”

— DF

[shiningmystic]

What I learned from my therapist is that there are 2 steps to fully letting go of emotions:

expression and action.

Expression can be like speaking or journaling your true thoughts and not letting any judgment cloud what you should and shouldn’t write; just do it even if it’s shameful and not you (also take note of your reactions to those thoughts you want to write bad or good). You are only expressing what doesn’t deserve to be trapped within! This is the time to also show compassion to yourself even if what your feeling is “wrong” that does not matter because those feelings are still VALID.

Then action is the second step to letting your body let go of these intense/traumatic emotions, physical activity is letting your body know you are moving out of the stress or intense emotion and releasing chemicals that will help you feel better if not just give you an activity to focus on. For me I exercise (mainly running) and think of the things that have left me feeling like crap and just go for it!

Other ways of expression are: any vent art form like painting, writing, speaking/talking to a friend; you can incorporate action within expression such as dance and singing.

Other ways of taking action: running, hiking, get outside in nature, breaking inanimate objects (please make sure you are safe and do not hurt yourself or others while doing this, I ripped apart a mattress with friends and it was awesome!) again you can incorporate expression into action like the examples above singing and dancing.

Letting go is one of the things I don’t see many spiritualist explain how to do and this is not a one and done deal if you need multiple sessions for yourself to express please go for it!! Healing is an up and down journey and I want to keep sharing what I have learned so you may transform into the butterflies I know you all are 😊

(I’m not claiming this will work right away or for everyone, it does take time and patience for self, it also depends on how deep the pain is and how long your body may have held onto the stress, be gentle my friends)

Instead of posting all my angry anons, I will just write a post.

Actually, no, I won’t write a post. Because I don’t have to explain myself. Every therapist-client relationship is unique. Nobody except T and me knows exactly what our relationship was or is now. And we’re the only two that matter. I feel a sense of peace about where and how things have ended up. I never want to minimise what she meant to me or how much she helped me, but I know that version of our relationship is fixed in the past now and it can’t be that again. I will always be appreciative of it though and I’m not ashamed to acknowledge what it was and what it meant. I believe that T has similar feelings about it. She has always been genuine and authentic about her feelings and so I trust what she says as a true reflection of what she feels. I love that. And I love her.

And I didn’t talk to him ever again

One thing that bothers the fuck out of me when I tell people I’m autistic, and they say the old “really? I couldn’t tell! You don’t seem autistic,” is that they COULD tell. They could tell that I’m intense and have no volume control because they’ve pointed it out. They could tell that I dont have a great understanding of social cues because they laugh when I miss them. They could tell that I stim because they’ve told me to stop fidgeting. So they COULD tell, because I DO “seem” autistic, but to them, they just saw my autistic traits as personal failures and never as things that I simply couldn’t help.

Lori Gottlieb, Maybe You Should Talk to Someone

friendly reminders:

you don't have to be productive every day

you are worthy even if all you did today was get out of bed

there are people out there who care about you

your existence makes a difference

if something bothers you, then it bothers you. no one has the right to tell you otherwise

you are allowed to take up space

there is no 'right way' to grieve

you cannot put a time limit on emotions

your likes and interests are valid and they matter

it's okay to take your time in doing things. not everyone can do everything at the same pace

Pay attention to your triggers, they are showing you where you need to heal.

May you live an existence that doesn’t require constant resilience.
