Deep Recovery

 “The act of not discussing or confiding the event with another may be more damaging than having experienced the event per se.”  ~ James Pennebaker 

Shame is such a potent form of emotional and physical stress because it has the effect of isolating and compartmentalization; I essentially lock up a part of myself, for fear of being exposed--as damaged, offensive, or as fundamentally wrong. Recognizing that these judgments are false is one thing, but to bring up the story in a safe space, with another, is an entirely different experience: holding the space, to shorten the space--between and within.
​Love, Dave
