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.
