Being flooded with so much from the past. I can handle what I need to do with the current situation with child contact but it’s what it’s unearthing from the past, it’s triggering so much at once. So much I had buried and didnt know was there. I’m feeling it in my body and emotionally.

How do you move forward from the past with all that trigger. Therepy. How do you cope, talking to friends, family ect.
You can always
Regarding child contact . you need a court order probably. And seeking legal advice is expensive. I’d look at legal aid or charities that offer free advice . Citizens advice or similar. Log everything. You can always contact child social care to they are there to support to.
Maybe doctors or in terms or crisis samaritins or crisis centre .
I wish you all the best

Thank you. Practically I know what to do and have things in place. I was just hoping to connect with others who understand. Sorry. Just realised it posted my post twice too.

Your post totally resonates and I think being able to label the emotion is the first step in taking some control back. The challenge is dealing with the emotions and experiences you had buried. I hope you can find strength and encouragement not only here but perhaps qualified therapists too.

Thank you Love@trees. I think fear was hiding so many other emotions. Ive learnt to manage my fear better and now as im doing that its like its giving space for other emotions to show up. But they are coming at me with such intensity and i dont know how to identify them.

@hopingforpeace I experienced what you did about other emotions surfaced. The best advice I took was to sit with them and let them wash over me like a wave. It’s OK not to be able to label them at this time, as long as you are allowing yourself to experience them and not fight them. The naming will follow x

@Texas thank you for sharing this. It is so hard to sit with them due to the flashbacks I am getting but I am trying to sit with them a bit.

I can understand that. When I was like that I would hug myself and tell myself I was safe over and over again. I know it is much harder in practice, but it does become less intense over time x

@Texas I wrap my arms around myself too. Helpful to hear that it does become less intense over time. Thank you.
