Traumatic Experiences Daily Check-in Thursday June 22nd 3017
Good morning all
Today's quote from my favorite bear Winnie the Pooh.....
"Rivers know this : there is no hurry. We shall get there someday." Winnie
How often we want to get there in a hurry. We want this to be over. We feel like giving up - no one told us it was going to be this hard,this long.But struggling in the middle of it all, we may miss the small steps we are taking, they may seem too insignificant. That's when I think we need someone to be a witness to our journey, to notice, and to bring this to our attention. This enables us to be connected to others, reduces the isolation, and validates our story. Better still is a "cheer team" encouraging on the sideline and celebrating with us!
What steps have you taken recently? Who has been witness to another's step (that they may not have noticed)? Lets not be in a hurry but take the time to notice........ and even more to celebrate!!

Looks like the check in for a thousand years from today is sorted Rozie 😉
I love that quote - time to chill a little and take it steady. Everything in its own time.

Now I get it! what a typo!
Yay -- more Pooh from @rozie!🤗
I really like the underlying sentiment of this check in. For me, just leaving the house for even a moment has been a trial lately. Even a trip to the store or a walk around the block feels like running a marathon. So I'm pleased with myself for having run a personal marathon every day this week since Sunday (including a doctor's appointment across town yesterday that I had already rescheduled several times because I just couldn't...)
Today i want to finally get groceries out of the way (which I've been putting off all week). Even though I endured some particularly unsettling dreams last night which directly tapped into some especially painful memories (because my subconscious is a jerk like that sometimes) I'm going to press on, despite feeling wrung out and shaky this morning. So gotta mentally warm up.
@melliotm
Wow! a personal marathon every day..well done to you Melli! As we know each step in a marathon is one closer to the finishing line.Hope you get the groceries done.
@rozie Great post!!! Im a huge winnie the pooh fan and have a particular fondness for Eeyore lol
I don't know if I flagged my posts or if someone just deleted them.
At any rate,
Kite, I am sorry.
@agreeableKite4304 ^
Hi :) I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm new to this group. My therapist, who I recently quit, told me I could benefit from treatment for attachment trauma. I am not in therapy right now, for multiple reasons - insurance/cost, going on a long road trip, 7cups therapists not being a good fit for me, unemployed, not sure where I will be ending up. I'd like to be a part of some community and start to understand more about what this part of me, this trauma part, is all about. Thanks for having me. -singer
