How Would You Describe The Feeling Of Trauma Resolving?

[keifer]

I understand mine now or at least the why part. Some days I dont think I have ptsd as I'm just perfect. Other days I'm running stop signs and angry and I dont know it. I got pulled over and warned about doing that, good thing they dont know I have ptsd.

Mine is an emotion of terror stuck somewhere in my brain I can't access. There is no memory with it and I'll have to live with this the rest of my life.

I will not let this define me and I will live my life.

I saw this documentary on the multiverse theory, which no way can I explain with any expertise but the idea was something like there are many of us. Like we come to a crossroads in a trauma situation say - and the thinking me writing this went the way I remember. The multiverse theory is - I think - that at the crossroads, another version of me separated and went another way and she continued on based on a different response to the trauma.

That's another way I feel when a trauma resolves or has closure. Either I met up with her somehow and we integrated or her story line ended and there is just the thinking me writing this now and I feel more whole.

But this theory says there could be lots of me's out there.

Arghhhh!!

Everybody come home now!

I wrote a book about my early childhood where I put all of the dirty nasty details out in front of me and in the two years since I have noticed that my body memories are mostly gone. I don't have to remember anymore. I wrote it down so that I can let go of it with my body. I think that for me I couldn't get rid of the body memories because I *didn't want* to forget. I wanted someone to know what happened to me, even if it was only me. Now I've written it down and more than 1600 people have read it. I don't have to think about it much anymore. It won't be forgotten.
