safe place not working...am i doing it wrong?
i had a really bad dream last night....of abuser (at his age now) assaulting me violently. i'm kinda shaken by this. i keep imagining my safe place(SP) and that's fine but as soon as i try to do some work (and leave SP) the bad image and feelings come right back. is the SP only helpful when you can't do anything else BUT imagine yourself there?
luckily i see T this afternoon...heck maybe that's why the dream...but i also saw him this last weekend so that could be it too.
Anyway, it's tough to get any work done with this 'ickyness' around me.
i'm not Freaking like i did last time...it's not as severe but its still...well, lets just say its in the way! i have a lot to do and the harder i push the more it pops up so i'm trying to keep it at arms length...which really makes it hard to concentrate, but i can work a little.am i 'using' my safe place wrong?
