Hi everyone,
Happy New Year!
I wonder about something that came back for me in therapy *again*.
I have this strong "belief" or "feel" cannot tell truly it is like wet skin but here it goes:
- The worst thing that could have happened to me happened already so what could I possibly be stressed out about today?
What is the name of this phenomenon in the psychology jargons or layperson's call in t-spheres.
I feel this may have something to do with the PTSD-cup but not sure and it is not ringing for me.
I am often not high strung on everyday's casual slights but when I feel triggered, the thing that gets triggered down there in the belly feels like a rock. So whenever I recover, I can always see the every day stress that "triggered me" but it is never as big or scary as the memory I attach to it in the past and I feel like...wtf. My body memories are much bigger than any stress I could have today. Also in all fairness perhaps I do not have much stress but I do normal level of anxiety.
Not sure I am wording this right so please ask for clarifications. Just wondering if anyone else has similar experience and provide me with some education about nothing is ever as big as the memory of my body!
Much appreciated your thoughts.
Happy New Year!
