Before I’m even conscious of being triggered, the child within me fights as though it’s a life and death struggle and screams, “You’re going to die! Get away now!” To her, the trauma is ongoing and the threat is current. In that moment, it’s not merely a memory, it’s happening now.

It is hard to walk down the path of healing. It is hard to live in moments of the past. Try to remember where you are. The threat may sometimes feel current, but you are safe now. You are loved.
