She tells me to write it out until I heal
But how can I heal when writing it out just causes retraumatization?
Maybe we should work on coping skills before we get to this point.
No doubt she’ll ask me how I felt when writing it and how I coped with those emotions.
I’ll tell her that it made me ***** and so I started drinking alcohol so that I had something else to blame the sickness on.
She’ll probably tell me that it’s an unhealthy coping mechanism and that I need to allow myself to feel all of those feelings that come up
And I’ll tell her that if she felt the roughness of your hands on her,
She’d drink to forget too.
