I am struggling with grounding. There are many reasons that I find grounding myself really hard. One is that I have no practising skills of grounding.
When I get grounded I often feel overwhelmed by feelings. One set of pretty overwhelmed feelings that grounding leaves me with is being flooded with the bodily sensations of being raped feelings.
It is a really hard one for me, and it is why going to bed brings up some really strong feelings of fear before going to bed.
Avoiding the feeling raped feelings leads me to binge eating or comfort eating at night.
The shame of being raped is pretty strong as well. So nightmares at night are a common feature, waking up with panic or high anxiety is a feature of my sleep. Sleep is a continual negotiation and a constant management issues.
I relate to this song a lot Caleb Meyer - Gillian Welch & David Rawlings
Has anyone found a way of managing this?
