Healing...

Dear Fellow Travelers... it's been a while since I've blogged. I suspect I'm trying to limit the amount of time I spend immersed in "It's" space. But I wanted to give you a brief update.

Emily and I are healing. Though neither of us will ever be the same again, we're both finding ways to live and love life again.

I'm encouraged with the positive results I'm experiencing with EMDR therapy. I'm finding that the intrusive thoughts are less frequent and when they do come up I'm much more aware of what they are and where they are coming from, enabling me to dissipate them more quickly.

I'm also embracing the experience of becoming whole again. It's kind of like a rebirth. I get to decide who I am all over again, with the luxury of knowing who I was before I was destroyed. With the help of loved ones I'm rediscovering my love of playing piano and flute again. I'm still riding mountain bike and enjoying the Sonoran Desert. I'm decorating the house of my dreams and loving a wonderful man who supports me through the good and bad times.

Rebuilding a life after a pathological relationship is the hardest thing I've ever done. I know I've got a long way to go, but I'm on my way... :D

Love and hugs,
Laura
