trauma & irritability are the "bestest of friends"

It’s easy to speak off the cuff with no filter all throughout the course of a day. Just ask her as she was the Queen of Insults. But, why, may you ask? It seemed like it was easier to hurl the insult instead of sit there in the sometimes pain or discomfort of what was coming up in a particular moment in time. “You don’t do anything right. Why can’t you sit there without talking for once? You’re just as impossible as you’ve ever been”. These were just a few words to showcase her flippant reactions toward the person she called her best friend; her “person”. Why is it that we hurt most those that we love? That’s a question she could ask in therapy, for sure. And when she’s done pointing the finger at those around her for all the mishaps, the hurts and the pain, she can finally begin to turn that finger towards herself; something that doesn’t come easily, but is so necessary to be in relationship with another…. and most especially her person. Recognizing her internal dialogue is key, while feeling safe to share it is just as important. It takes courage to do so but the gains are palpable. She would be able to find herself more at peace and more connected to the world around her. She wants to change. She really does. She now realizes that change starts with her and only her. She is ready. Are you? . .
