I’m in my reading rainbow, sitting on my couch and traveling to therapists’ couches all over the world and I learn something pretty big every day.
Today I learned that all kids want is to be listened to. It’s the basis for having secure attachment with their caregivers. It’s a big deal and being ignored is detrimental to their emotional health. It can be considered emotional neglect or even emotional abuse if they aren’t listened to.
What’s my biggest trigger? Not being heard. (I wonder where that came from?)
What does a blog do?
It tells my story. It’s putting it out there.
Not saying I’ll be heard, but here I am… sharing my shit.
And that’s all I ever wanted. To be known.
This is 100% an exercise in being heard.
And it has been beyond cathartic.
So far, only russian bots have commented, but that’s fine with me!
I may delete it later on, but for now… it’s healing.
Everyone wants a Blog.
