Thank you for sharing. This sounds amazing.
I had a dream this week that my trauma memories are not perfectly accurate. I was told this by my 'sister' in the dream. It hurt my feelings because she was also abused as I was and is in denial and won't/can't validate. Instead, she tries to push me to be with the abusive parents all the time. Even though her guides said this will never happen. I think she blames me, and my memories, and wants to control me.
In the dream, she said my memories are "inaccurate at best" and told me to do an African drumming ceremony to ask the spirits to guide me to the truth.
In my dreams, often I take personally and feel hurt by what people say and do, when the truth is that their voice is saying something else to me. Like maybe a healing ceremony with drums would be just the ticket for me! And not focus on the negative side of the message that hurt me.
How did you find your Shamanic healer? I would be interested in finding the right person for me.
I can soul journey on my own, and do healing on myself and others on my own. Where I struggle is just like you said, to "dive in and trust another to help me."
I've been hurt so much, and when not hurt, disappointed, to the extent that I have all but totally lost interest in accepting help. I have never liked help or compliments. I am such a loner, and I see now that it's just how I am and have always been. It's who I am. Not just PTSD. But I can work with it and balance. Right? (I hope!)
How did you learn to trust? How do you find someone to trust?
