I listened to this podcast today on the route. With an open mind, you can see there may be new answers to old traumas. Using a new therapy, that may now be seen as unorthodox, but, if they are having results, we need to explore further.
What I loved, was how we are left with a picture of ourself when something traumatic happens to us. And, if we can experience ourselves in a new way, we can redefine how we see not only ourselves, but the world, and our place in it.
I never thought before that our life can change in an instant to something that feels horrific, and so then, can it change into something beautiful.
What I know, in my experience, is that I saw myself as innocent amid the complex hairball of sexual abuse, and my whole world changed.
Or, maybe it was more I saw my father as guilty, and it freed me to see me, in a new light.
Beautiful.
Open
Light hearted.
New
I know that this type of therapy will work.
It makes the most sense, for those whose lives have been upside down and backwards after a traumatic experience, changing how they see themselves from the inside out.
How amazing it would be to experience yourself without the wound, for the first time for so many people! And, for many of us, to be given the insight into who we were before the abuse changed who we had to be in order to survive.
To see and feel yourself as a innocent child.
I had this experience.
I don't know why or how, but I truly feel that my insides were changed.
That I went from feeling unworthy to worthy.
This ties into the therapy practices of Alice Miller. She was one of the first to see that the parents held the key to the dysfunctional behavior of the child; making the child innocent.
What I love most about this, is that inside of us we see ourselves.
It is, as I have always believed an inside job.
It is in there.
We just have to find a way to get there.
Remove what is in the way.
