Day 84 of The 100 Day Poetry Project
I'm listening to the audiobook- The Body Keeps the Score. Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel van der Kolk. It's really good and I'm learning a lot about myself from the book. He said something today and I wrote it down and some of it is included in the poem. He said that people who have been abused as children are trapped and have to reconstruct their inner maps if they want to change how they see the world. My Body also makes an appearance- but it's a little different than all the other poems about my body.
Healing is hard work and I'm exhausted just thinking about the reconstruction of my inner map.
