Inner safety is such a cornerstone to healing and can be so hard to achieve when the external world is one of perpetual danger. I agree with your thoughts Sharon.

I work in a schools context where there sometimes is just no safe place for a child to go. Creating that inner safe space, regardless of circumstances, is a key to recovery.

I did not understand what this stuff in my head was about or why I was so afraid. I new one thing Alcohol made it seem better! Today there are answers! Unfortunatly, there is still a lot of resistance and stigma in getting help! Becomming willing to get help is really the first step.

Some think that these are emotions and feelings that they can deal with on their own, but they have no realization just how deeply these kinds of things can stand to effect them even years after the trauma occurs. When in doubt the best idea is to always find someone that you can talk with and who can help you work through things. It might just even be a good friend or even your minister but there is nothing wrong with seeking help to work through these things and that is guaranteed to leave you healthier in the long run.
