Dear Karen,<\/span><\/p>\n
I just ordered your book.<\/span><\/p>\n
I would like to share a song I wrote regarding my own experience. <\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
The Process<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
Little Child where are you?<\/span><\/p>\n
I\u2019ve looked a long, long time.<\/span><\/p>\n
Within the shade of shadows<\/span><\/p>\n
And memories laced with wine.<\/span><\/p>\n
Your fragile heart was taken<\/span><\/p>\n
And wrapped with pain and tears.<\/span><\/p>\n
And tucked beneath the covers<\/span><\/p>\n
And lost for many years.<\/span><\/p>\n
Oh I\u2019m looking for you Little One<\/span><\/p>\n
I want to hold you tight!<\/span><\/p>\n
It\u2019s time to shed your covers<\/span><\/p>\n
And step out in the light.<\/span><\/p>\n
Little Child, how are you?<\/span><\/p>\n
You needent be so shy.<\/span><\/p>\n
I have a friend to meet you\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n
She shares the tears you cry.<\/span><\/p>\n
You\u2019ve spent your life together<\/span><\/p>\n
And now you need to know<\/span><\/p>\n
She needs you right beside her!<\/span><\/p>\n
It\u2019s time for you to grow.<\/span><\/p>\n
Oh I\u2019m looking for you Little One<\/span><\/p>\n
I want to hold you tight!<\/span><\/p>\n
It\u2019s time to shed your covers<\/span><\/p>\n
And step out in the light.<\/span><\/p>\n
Little Child, I love you!<\/span><\/p>\n
I\u2019m glad you chose to stay.<\/span><\/p>\n
We have a life together!<\/span><\/p>\n
It\u2019s starting every day!<\/span><\/p>\n
I like to feel your lightness\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n
The softness of your heart.<\/span><\/p>\n
Let\u2019s play this song together<\/span><\/p>\n
We have a brand new start!<\/span><\/p>\n
Oh, I\u2019m glad I found you Little One!<\/span><\/p>\n
I\u2019m gonna hold you tight!<\/span><\/p>\n
You\u2019ve shed your heavy covers.<\/span><\/p>\n
You\u2019re standing in the Light!<\/span><\/p>\n
Oh, I\u2019m glad I found you Little One!<\/span><\/p>\n
I\u2019m gonna hold you tight!<\/span><\/p>\n
You\u2019ve shed your heavy covers<\/span><\/p>\n
We\u2019re standing in the Light.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
Thank-you for sharing your story. This was a very brave thing to do and will help many of us who suffer in silence. My first attempt to describe my inner chaos was met with ridicule\u2026\u201dWell, you LOOK the same!\u201d and \u201cIf this is so, I will have you committed.\u201d I decided then to keep it to myself and have been doing some slow change\/progress for almost 20 years\u2026alone. In some respects, this has been very difficult and exhausting, but at the same time it has empowered me.<\/span><\/p>\n
I am presently seeing a different counselor for PTSD. He has taught me some very helpful techniques to assist when I feel a physical change that takes my breath away. I have read extensively about the role the body\u2019s hormones have with the stress response and have felt validated for the first time in years. I am trying to get the courage to talk about what goes on inside of me but still feel strong concern about being \u201clabeled\u201d or ridiculed.<\/span><\/p>\n
Thank-you and keep your focus on what a gift you ARE. We were all made tenderly and with Love that knows no end.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Dear Christine,<\/span><\/p>\n
Thank you for sharing! \u00a0The lyrics to your song are wonderful! \u00a0 As a former multiple, I totally understand\u00a0your story through your written\u00a0words. \u00a0Your song touched me and has brought tears to my eyes.\u00a0 I hope to hear it sung someday. \u00a0I believe you are gifted. \u00a0It really takes a special person with a creative mind to have accomplished such an inspirational song!<\/span><\/p>\n
It’s true, I too suffered in silence for many years due to the fear of being ridiculed. \u00a0I tried to share a few times and was literally laughed at, so I stopped sharing and kept my illness as private as possible. \u00a0It’s\u00a0hard to share an incomprehensible illness, that is\u00a0largely unknown and not taken seriously. \u00a0That is why I share my story in Switching Time.. It is my hope to bring knowledge of a rare, but real illness. <\/span><\/p>\n
I’m glad to hear that you are doing well in therapy. \u00a0I haven’t\u00a0read much\u00a0on the body’s hormones having a response to stress, however, it makes sense to me. \u00a0I’ll surely look into it.<\/span><\/p>\n
And yes,\u00a0I agree, we\u00a0are all made tenderly and with Love that knows no end.<\/span><\/p>\n
Thank you for your kind thoughts and for sharing your amazing song!<\/span><\/p>\n
