Eliza, wow. I was talking to my partner about my traumatized self at 18 and how I feel like I can’t relate to her and it makes me sad. Unlike you, I’m always searching for her, trying to retrigger myself so I can feel her pain. She feels so distant from me, like my trauma happened to her but not to me. That terrifies me. Shed a tear for you and for me. Thanks for sharing your beautiful writing with us. Loved meeting you last night:) Love, Celine
