When we are taught as children that our feelings don’t matter, that We don’t matter, that we need to be as small and quiet and convenient as possible to the people around us … we even learn to block out our own pain and discomfort as we ‘know’ it doesn’t matter. It gets to the point where we don’t even register it.
Learning to tune back into our own bodies can be a long, slow and committed process.
But you deserve it. And your feelings were Always important ❤️❤️❤️
Trauma survivors can get real good at not feeling physical pain. Not fully, anyway. You know those pain charts in doctors' offices, with the numbers or faces? They're often useless to trauma survivors. We tend to have our own scale.
We're "fine." Or something.
