GG, huge gratitude for offering a link to my post on polyvagal theory - thank you!!! More importantly, I felt such a strong heart tug as you shared your experience of worry. It is so like my own growing up in many ways. It was so tricky at times as I was taught to memorize scripture such as, "Do not be anxious about anything..." Reciting it over and over again was not the medicine I needed. It didn't work and I ended up feeling worse about myself, weak in faith, and less than those around me who seemed to trust life, and God, so easily. I appreciate your experience and the permission to worry. Thank you, GG.
My Dear GG, I feel you. I'm right here with you. Making it through the days. Writing. Being careful of my tone so that I don't give too much of my truth away. Intrusive thoughts bubbling over like Champagne. Not wanting to hurt the people I love, while feeling deeply hurt.
