Therapist made a good analogy today. I was talking about how I love it when my PT talks about how they can tell I used to do dance and ballet because it's been 25 years since I performed. And she pointed out how that's muscle memory because I did it for so long. She said that the same thing happens with our trauma. When someone tells me that something is going to change, I assume it's because I did something wrong not because of what other shit might be going on.
That was eye opening. She said that I need to remember how hard these battles are for me when I start getting down on myself for not meeting the impossible standards I've set.
okay but do you remember that part in the Lion King super nintendo game where you're supposed to ride giraffes and jump over trees or some shit and it was the most rage inducing experience of your early childhood?
because I do. Every swear word I'd ever learned came out about the 3546851th time I had to start over.
