Traumatic Experiences Community Daily Check-in Thursday 17th August 2017

Greetings to you all!

Seems like time for a little more from our favourite bear Winnie the Pooh and his little friend Piglet.

"I don't feel very much like Pooh today," said Pooh. "There, there," said Piglet. "I'll bring you tea and honey till you do."

Thinking of the tough days when like" Pooh" we don't feel too good. Suggest that's when we need at least one "Piglet"alongside and preferably more.But first we need to let our "Piglet" know and that can be difficult. We may be afraid to ask, or we may feel too ashamed. That we don't deserve this. Shame disconnects us from others and teaches us to be alone. Just when we need comfort and support.

BUT as Mellio wrote in the Trauma Support feed... "Never be afraid to ask for support and comfort when you need it in those moments where self-compassion and acceptance are impossible to find.Despite all the stubborn feelings to the contrary you truly deserve it."

How is your day going? Do you need to reach out to a "piglet" for comfort and support? What would you tell someone who is struggling with asking for support? Do pop in to say hi! Love to hear from you... this is your space and a safe place. ( lots of "piglets" here with us) x
