Thanks for this. It's been a long and difficult journey back to my body and voice. I'm glad we survived.
I'm going to write more on this topic, since there's so much more to say. I was silenced as a kid, but I'm not silent anymore. I know how hard it is to heal from this and to break out of all the conditioned patterns it sets up in a child and, later, an adult. There is also so much denial.
I went through multiple therapies, and the process of releasing so much trauma, before I found myself in a place where I could share my experiences.
Thanks for the link, and your support!
