Hi y’all, just got done with day nine of my first program. Wrinting this to share in vulnerability about my experience and to see if any of you have had a similar experience and how you personally processed and moved through it.

I have C-PTSD (complex ptsd, aka, childhood ptsd) and have done a lot of work on myself. I’ve gone to therapy for nearly thirty years, learning to be gentle, have compassion on myself, healthy coping, etc.

During today’s warm up, I had a HUGE emotional release of trauma that has been stored in my body. I cried quite a bit amd realized what was happening almost immediately. During this release, I felt 100% safe and kept going through the exercises as I cried. I spoke gentle words to myself, reminding me myself that I am adult, that I am safe, and that I am here to protect myself.

I am not particularly surprised that this came up, as I’ve been in a really vulnerable space for the past couple of months with big life events and have been “leveling up” in my healing journey. It’s been hard, but really worth it.

I had this happen one other time while in child’s pose in a yoga class, before I remembered the trauma that happened to me as a child.

Have you had this happen? If so, how did it happen and how did you process? Did you know what was going on?

Healing looks so different for everyone. Sending lots of love and encouragement to you! Thanks so much for taking the time to receive what I’ve shared and thanks ahead of time for sharing of you have experienced something similar. ❤️‍🩹❤️🌞
