Hello everyone.
I hope today has been a good day for you.
I decided to reblog this article because when it was originally written, I posted it late into the holiday season, and that didn’t give everyone enough time to follow through with some of the ideas.
For dissociative survivors, Christmas is often a time of heartache, sadness, loneliness, trauma….
Making NEW memories, positive memories, is a crucial part of healing.
So I encourage each of you to use this article as a launching pad for finding fun ideas you can do with your insiders, or with your cherished outsiders.
Making good memories, and starting good traditions — it’s not too late for you. You can start this year, and continue on for many, many years to come.
Enjoy! And have FUN!!
Warmly,
Kathy

Just trying to soothe the child-parts who are triggered and frightened by much of the imagery around this time of year.
