[QUOTE="JMom, post: 757285, member: 19892"] Copa, Bare with me as I take a stab at this. I am going to address the terror as control. These are just my opinions, I am the LEAST creative person on the planet. What stood out to me in your post was each time you spoke of your childhood and the art, they were connected by feelings of control or lack thereof. This is going to sound weird. sorry. I am looking at this from the standpoint that as a child, you lacked any resources to control what was happening to/around you (which is terrifying as a kid). I think through your art, you were trying to force the terror to go away by pushing through. I think the missing link was your inner child saying to you "why are you making me do this? YOU now have control-use it". I am proud of you for being a "quitter". You quit forcing yourself into a situation that you were terrified of-much like your childhood. I know that sounds very strange, but as I was reading your post, I could CLEARLY hear your inner child begging for relief. Children don't care WHO saves them, they care that ONE person SAW them, helped them and put them first. I am very bitter about being invisible and not ONE adult noticing what was happening to me to help. Add insult to injury, I realized as an adult they DID KNOW and still didn't help for selfish reasons. I don't know what happened in your past or who was responsible, but I can tell you now that it is your responsibility to be nice to that kid and YOU WERE and YOU DID and I am SO VERY PROUD of you. I am so happy that you retreated and gave yourself relief. I agree with Dani and the others to practice art when it gives you joy. We all get triggered by stuff that may not even be related to the actual trauma sustained. It doesn't always make sense but it doesn't have to. I am impressed with your willingness to a a lifetime student. I learned there are only 2 things you can give away but never run out of 1)knowledge and 2) love. My analysis is only thoughts in my head, I have no education in trauma, art or anything other than business. I think we all know pain, power and control. I like you and your inner kiddo and hope you continue to nurture her. She deserves peace, as do you. PS You would be a great writer. Love, JMOM [/QUOTE]
