bits and pieces
of memories
floate through my mind
threatening
to overwhelm me
so to cope
I distract
from the pain
I put the bits and pieces
to one side
Into a container
and give them
to my therapist
To look after
Until we can process the memories
safely
and securely
In the comfort
Of her office

    Excellent! It’s so empowering to know that we can do this – set aside the anxiety inducing bits until we are in a better place. Thanks for joining in.

Thank you for reading, liking, and commenting to my posts.  It is very appreciated.

I am currently raising money to pay for ongoing psychotherapy. I am a survivor of complex trauma, I have dissociative identity disorder, and complex PTSD.  Therapy can be very expensive.

If you feel like donating to my fund you can donate using pay pal. My pay pal email for donating is:

Manyofus1980@gmail.com

Don’t feel you have to, there is no pressure, but I’m grateful for any donations that are received.

Again thanks for visiting!
