A wave of anguish and fear
A storm of emotions
A flashback
I am here present, yet not really
I am reliving something through my body and I can not make it stop
I try my best to come back, to feel safe again, calm, at home in my bed
But the nightmare continues
I want to wake up
Please Anna wake up
I am safe here
You are not alone
I hear someone talking to me. But I can not listen. It is too late
Help!!
I know someone is there
I know that she is keeping me safe
Yet it feels like I am about to die
I know this is not happening now
I can breathe through this
Let the emotions have their space and then move through
I can let them burn out
I am safe
I am here
I am okay
I am seen
I am loved
Everything is okay
One breath at a time
Slowly slowly coming back
Back to my body
Back to the present moment
