This is so reveiling and makes so much sense since we develope our attachment style in childhood. Always shut down as a kid, and always been told to not stand out at all. And i still wonder why i struggle so much with starting and publishing anything that could put me on the spot 😅 Thank you!!
Wowwwww to everything you wrote about cptsd and disorganized attachment! It just respirates SO much!
Im seeing this for myself after going down some different Mercury rx rabbit holes this rx cycle… and the roots for me of WHY the cptsd (or perhaps more of the types of roots/context) and then rituals to heal, in addition to daily practice needs.
And wow.. you put so many words to what my guidance system has been saying for years and only this year I’ve been ready to listen to… consistent and daily spiritual practice.
Lolol - I don’t need MercuryRx to dive into a rabbit hole - rabbit holes are one of my guilty pleasures 😆
@Sarah this post is giving me so many big feels 🥺 around not only having delight in our creativity squashed- also delight in ourselves! 😭 (b/c that was “vain” and “conceited” and “bragging” 😤 and I feel like the latter was *especially* prevalent for little girls 💔
All of this is resonating so loudly! you’re so beautifully giving voice to stuff that has been swirling in my field for months that I haven’t been able to express with any kind of clarity. Or really talk about with anyone who’s remotely curious about this topic.
And regarding the embodied healing you touched on- A couple years ago I was chatting with my writing coach and telling her that my experience of Biofield Attunement was MAGNITUDES more healing and helpful than my work with the traditional talk therapist I’d recently “fired” -
and she told me that traditional talk therapy isn’t very effective for neurodivergent folks; that most often, we will experience the best (most healing/transformative) results when we utilize embodied modalities for healing - even something as “mundane” as yoga or bodywork.
Hearing that not only blew me away, it was very affirming of my own experience and the “unconventional” healing modalities I’ve always gravitated to. (And it made me feel so grateful to myself that at least in that capacity I was connected to and able to trust my intuition ❤️)
And my thought is- if embodied healing works so well for us, wouldn’t it for everyone? And if so, why are we clinging to outdated practices that perpetuate the notion you can “think” yourself into “being healed” ?!?
That idea alone cost me a few decades b/c I’d gone through several months of talk therapy in my 20’s - and thought myself “healed” 🤣🤣🤣 (and shame on the therapist for not recognizing or choosing not to address the ENORMOUS trauma I was obviously carrying and oblivious to 🤨)

If only our childhoods did not impact us at all! :D
Alas.... Good news is, we can change!
