You are mentally the age of when trauma struck in your life. I sometimes feel like I have trouble talking about more serious issues or how to express issues. But, I was thinking that in order to move forward with one's healing, if we can recognize how we feel ( a therapist once said yo use first person, very difficult) it will be easier to move forward in life, emotionally. Like, heal from past wounds.
I think that, speaking for myself I can trace trauma back to age 6 but age 13 is when it really hurt. And, for many years I felt that age. Anyway, that notion was interesting to me. That we are "stuck" at the age of the trauma that occurred on our lives. Tbh although I'm an active member here, I feel kinda silly even posting this. I don't know why. K.
