The trigger, is the catalyst, to healing past experiences.
Hello world. The following was written 12/06/2016.
Earlier today I found myself responding to my sisters friend about small dogs, Pomeranian’s to be precise. My response to them, about these dogs, was as follows.
My response, “Every interaction I have ever had with a Pomeranian, has been traumatic. In every instant, they were the aggressor. I had to have the needle thing as a kid, because of one of those dogs. I am speaking, from my personal experiences. Also, an ankle biter couldn’t keep me from being raped, as a child either. It took getting a German Shepard, to do the job. So my disgust for ankle biters stands, sorry!”
I would like to thank you, brother. This discussion has brought to the surface for me, something I was needing to look at and heal. Judgments held of experiences, which were very traumatic and painful mentally, emotionally and physically.
In looking deeper, I recognize the pain and fear I was experiencing as the child, was carried over into my adult life. They have also helped me recognize, key elements of those situations which did stand out. Such as the size of a dog truly mattering, in how safe I feel.
The responses I gave earlier, were visceral in nature. They were learned responses, created in moments of fear. Now, I can see them, I can work at healing them and letting them go. So again, I thank you for this discussion, which has brought forth healing within me. The trigger, is the catalyst, to healing past experiences.
Blessings on your journeys my brothers. Hugs and love. You are loved. I love you.
