Hi All,
I feel like this is more to get future ideas so I can integrate as I continue on my path and also have been wanting some feedback on this due to being a little stumped.
My trauma response is dissociation and I’ve also self medicated as a way to feel. With this combo, I’ve had several situations where I’ve over reacted to situations and impulsively cut people out of my life. Along with me doing that, there were also instances where I’ve triggered some friends by being upset seemingly out of nowhere, which understandably made them feel unsafe.
I know I’m not in control of others when it comes to who would want to reconnect with me and I also want to start putting myself in the mind & heart set of being able to.
My concern is there were things that were legit happening with me and I don’t want to make it a self blaming, ignoring my feelings, groveling situation. That is still my go to underneath, which has me hesitant to start any reconnection process. I want to honor the feelings I had while also acknowledging the harm I did by being in dysregulation.
Does anyone relate to this and if so, what helped you get to a healthy place where you were able to authentically reconnect with people you care about?
