There are many ways to tell your story.
Besides sharing my story with my t. and a couple close people, blogging is my biggest outlet to share also! Never in my wildest dreams did I think blogging would be so beneficial!
“Some abuse happened at a time before you had the language for what was happening or was so traumatic that your brain stored the experience in images and physical sensations rather than in words. As a result, you may have no words with which to capture your experience. You may not be able to relate your story as an uninterrupted narrative with a beginning, middle, and end. In this case, you may find it more effective to tell your story through dance, movement, drawing, writing, or other creative forms, where you can communicate using imagery, metaphors, and symbolic language.” (The Courage to Heal)
Above is where I actually blog from. Many days and nights I would cry at the keyboard as I would type a post of mine or read someone else's pain.
((hugs))

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, your not a lone :)
ReplyDeleteIt's been a long time since I read through that book.... the excerpt you wrote fits me to a "T." I've many things that I have struggled to get out because of what happened before I had words to explain or know or understand. Great post. Keep on ... you are getting through it!!! Hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteJBR,
ReplyDeleteA picture is a thousand bytes of life. These pictures give me an insight into the person you are, it makes you real. It makes you real for me in so many ways I can't explain it. It is wonderful.
I sit by a window to blog also, let's your mind relax when your eyes wander to the outside world!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much for sharing, love you.
ReplyDeleteJBR, thanks for letting us peep into your world again. It is wonderful and in my eyes a sign that you start trusting the world outside. Love
ReplyDeleteThe mystery woman appears somewhat. The pictures makes it more personal I must agree. Then who I am to talk as I travel anonymous. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what you can do and where you can go from that one chair. Your blog touches others. It's good to know that it somehow also helps you.
ReplyDeleteBlogging and/or journaling has become an outlet for me as well. Great post. God Bless.
ReplyDeleteBloggy friends are my therapy group. They console me, make me giggle, encourage me and teach me many valuable life lessons.
ReplyDeleteYes, blogging is an outlet, letting us get it off our chests. Friends like you are a source of encouragement. Thanks for sharing with us the photos of where you do your blogging. That makes us feel closer to you.
ReplyDeleteblogging for me too has been an extremely beneficial outlet.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea ot welcome us into a part of yuour world. I don't blog much on mine. I usually just go read other blogs.
ReplyDeleteBlogging has been the best therapy I could ever ask for. It finally got me to a place to tell my story and begin to heal. I'm so glad you're finding the same strength in this outlet. (Hugs)Indigo
ReplyDeleteJBR, you are an awesome person with so much compassion. I'm so glad I've met you through our small universe here, the place where we can be free... to tell our stories, to cry, to comfort each other. It's awesome! Thanks for being here, you inspire me and so many others. *Hugs*
ReplyDeleteI'm more of a reader. Novels and bios. Nice post. Don't forget to turn back your clocks tonight. Ron
ReplyDeleteThat's the good thing! We can always create something and let the poison out of our hearts. It's part of healing!
ReplyDeletePopping in for a quick happy halloween :)
ReplyDeleteA year and a half ago I signed up for a blog when I was looking at a friend's blog. I gave it a title and then forgot about it. Then last month something jolted my memory and I actually started blogging. It has been an amazing experience so far. I have posted every day since I started (except one Saturday). I found out about NaNoWriMo and signed up for that, I intend to keep my blog going, and also keep following and commenting on other blogs. I've been unemployed for 7 months now and since I've started blogging I'm starting to become much more organized than I have ever been before and motivated toward trying to make a go at my dream of being a writer.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the writing space pictures -- it's cool to see others doing the same as what I am and what their work spaces look like. I may have to put my work space on one of my posts one day.
Good luck to you!

Great post! Peace out!
ReplyDeletehmm so that's where you sit to pen your thoughts. Words and feelings that helped not only yourself but many others out there. You have been a blessing indeed. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThere is something about writing which opens those dark recesses to the light and allows healing. You're doing a great job being real.
ReplyDeleteSeeing these photo's makes me feel closer to you. It gives me a visual and that helps make the impact of your blogs even more real and personal.
