First Memory: 4th Grade
I’m tired
I don’t think I slept at all last night
I kept thinking of her
My inner child
I’m working on healing her
My therapist told me
To imagine her
And me
In the same room
I hugged her so tight
We both couldn’t stop crying
Healing is going through the motions
So that’s what I’m going to do
We are in this together

Author's Note
EMDR is like going from the top to the bottom. From the chimney to the foundation. It’s hard. And it was only my first session. I’m doing it twice a week now. I never knew how much my inner child needed love. My therapist was in shock that the trauma runs that deep, that far. She said I shouldn’t have to carry that. 8 years and counting of carrying it. Maybe I don’t have physical muscle but I do have mental strength. One day I’ll be able to face those people who have tortured me for 8 years (basically 9, I know it’ll happen this coming year too), and know that I deserve everything they took from me. That’s what I’m working towards.

I'm so unbelievably proud of you! You do have incredible mental strength. Glad you're seeing it as well. It makes me incredibly happy to see to moving forward of your path to healing. Now that you have found your inner child, never let her go. She needs you, she needs your love and care and you need hers. Keep going through the motions. Keep pushing forward. Keep swimming. You are never alone. Ill be here cheering you on the entire time. That's a promise!
