Today I talk about the how it can take longer than you think to even begin to process emotions, particularly when you have a history of dissociation/trauma. I begin the episode with the poem:“by the timei feel safe enoughto process my emotionsso much time has passedbetween the eventand my response to itthat i fear being judgedas patheticor hypersensitivethus i tend to close offand instead suffer in silencealone with all the emotionsi never learnt how to feel” ~ Zachary Phillips is a poet, author and podcaster.
