I hear my parent’s voices in the bedroom next door. Through the dark the feelings amplify from anger to rage.
Cautiously I move across my bedroom floor. Click, the door locks. I slip into my closet. Curl up in the furthest corner. Way in the back. I exhale. I’m invisible. I sleep dreamlessly curled up in a ball until morning.
With my hair and stomach in knots – I jump into my best friend’s mom’s car. While driving to school she asks me, “how are you?” I smile and answer, “Fine, thank you.”
Sometimes, just going to sleep at night or coming home after school was risky business.
Facing my fear, doing it anyway AND being present in my body saved me. Dancing thawed the fight, flight and freeze. In the studio I felt safety and trust inside my body.
I’ve spent my whole life unpacking the body’s wisdom.
“I feel true and solid. As if every cell in my body is saying, ‘Welcome home!’ Instead of fearfully chasing comfort and safety, I’ve touched down into my true ground of well-being”
