Entering an exploratory phase

For nearly a year I have been doing extremely heavy trauma work. It’s brought me a lot of clarity about things that have happened to me, and for the first time in I don’t know how long, I feel like I’m not in crisis mode. I feel human. Now I’m exploring myself. My most recent session with my therapist was much more lighthearted than our usual sessions, and I needed that. I went into the session a bit nervous, because I had made a connection between media I loved as a teenager/young adult and media that I love today. It seemed like such a silly thing to bring up considering what our sessions usually consist of. She seemed so pleased when I told her about it, though. I’ve decided to re-watch the series, because I think it can help me connect with the emotions I was feeling at the time in my life when the worst of my childhood abuse was coming to an end. On some level I’m a little scared, but I finally feel like I’m healing after everything.
