I am in the process of writing the hardest piece of writing I have ever attempted - the full de-armoured story of my childhood trauma and abuse. I have only spoken this history in its fullness twice in my life. As I write it, I can feel places inside my body responding, talking to me, showing me where muscle memory has been held, where pain has been stored. Its time for this, I feel it in every part of me. Ive done the emotional and spiritual pieces with dedicated focus and continue in those areas as they arise. This is the physical, my body piece. It will be a gift, it is one now although it feels like the debriding of a wound to allow a clean healing - exquisitely painful. So, I am proceeding very gently. Stopping writing when it gets too harrowing and then nurturing myself in hot sea salt baths, smudging, horse time, dog snuggles, sweet foods and hot tea, sleeping as I need. Gently, beautiful Roxanne, gently.
