We Are Struggling

[MakersDozn]

We are safe, but we feel stuck in a pit of difficult feelings.

We feel hopeless, stuck, trapped in our own pain. Much of what we feel is rooted in feelings and experiences of powerlessness, of having no control. We are often hypervigilant and triggered, and we find it hard to stay grounded. We have been working with our T on these issues for a long time, but it seems like a neverending mess. Like a nightmare that doesn't stop.

We find it so difficult to take a step forward. And sitting with the feelings is just as difficult and painful. Conflicting needs, conflicting desires, conflicting feelings. And it seems like there's no way out.
