Up and down, down and up, and upside down...
Have you ever felt as though you are being held to ransom by an all consuming distress seesaw?
Join us this Topic Tuesday, to discuss journeys, and share strategies to leave the seesaw.
We will be joined by @Former-Member - a health professional who specialises in trauma.
SunnyDaisy describes her thoughts on this:
"I once had someone tell me that their experience of living with the effects of a difficult experience was like being stuck at the top end of a see-saw.
The weight of the difficult experience sits on the ground at the other end of the see-saw and life is consumed by this.
After receiving the support that was required to deal with the difficult experience/s, it felt like they were able to climb down from the see-saw and leave the all-consuming distress on the see-saw.
This does not mean forgetting about the difficult experience. It is a matter of gradually finding more space in life to participate in life and enjoy other things – a sense of no longer being held to ransom by the difficult experience .
How do you relate your difficult experiences to this 'see-saw' idea? Do you have an experience of climbing down from the high end of the see-saw?"
We've got a few members who might be able to contribute to this dicussion. @Loopy @Alessandra1992 @kristin @Rick @kenny66 @SCORPION @Cazzie Are you around tonight?
