BROKEN ARMS, BROKEN LEGS, NECK IN A BRACEâŠGOODNESS ME! EVERYTHING IS BROKEN!
Imagine someone after an accident: they have been rescued and taken to hospital and are convalescing in the hospital bed.
In spite of their injuries and all the bandages and the fact that they canât do much physically just yet, they are still the same personâŠjust a bit broken and needing time to heal.
Imagine further that when you visit them in hospital they tell you of their intentions to make you a 3-course dinner that night and then get frustrated and upset that they canât and exclaim âIâm uselessâŠI canât do anything!ââŠwhat would you say to them?
Iâm guessing something along the lines of: âYouâre not useless, youâre just a bit broken at the moment. You are still YOU under all the injuries and bandages, you just need to heal and get better and then you will be able to do all the things you want toâŠâ
NOWâŠ
What if their injuries are not physical? What if they are emotionally and mentally a âbit brokenâ? The same applies!
In spite of all their symptoms and behaviours â drinking, over-eating, panic-attacks, hair-pulling, OCD, insomnia, low mood â and the fact that they canât do much physically and emotionally just yet, they are still the same personâŠtheyâre just a bit broken and need time and help to heal.
Does this sound familiar? Do you feel a bit âbrokenâ?
Continuing with the themeâŠimagine further that this emotionally and mentally injured person is frustrated that they canât âjust stopâ; overcome or best cope with all of their symptoms and behaviours and want to âsnap out of itâ and just âbe normalâ and so become frustrated and upset that they canât and exclaim âIâm uselessâŠI canât do anything!ââŠwhat would you say to THEM?
The same rules apply!
Something along the lines of: âYouâre not useless, youâre just a bit broken at the moment. You are still YOU under all the hurt/problems/trauma, you just need to heal and get better and then you will be able to do all the things you want toâŠâ?
DO YOU FEEL A BIT EMOTIONALLY AND MENTALLY BATTERED AND BRUISED?
Do you suffer with symptoms of trauma and stress? Do you over-drink/eat? Suffer with IBS? Anger issues? Irrational fears? Phobias? Feel flatâŠempty? Lost your Mojo? PTSD?
