All I can think about is bodywork, a healing practice for recovery, for undigested trauma.

His hands and the tightness of his fingers curling around my trembling thighs.

My dry mouth and closing throat.

How badly I want to be good and holy and open.

Some days are harder than others.

I find myself breaking down into full sobsbody shaking, face aching, tears streaming down my face.

I know that recovery is far from easy.

I know that each day is a moment of healing.

I know that one day, I wont feel like this anymore.

I am learning to forgive myself for how often I cry.

I am letting myself feel what I feel.

I am learning to feel comfortable in my body with someone elses.

I need to remind myselfYoure okay.

Youre safe.Trauma is a heavy burden.Youre healing.
