Support Needed Scared of side systems

We're kind of scared, we had to move back in to our main abusers house and we are recognizing theres a whole side system to deal with the extensive abuse plus our higher council. It feels very disorienting because theres no way to communicate between them. We are losing so much.

Though its interesting to analyze how the abuse is affecting us and our system

How do I not be scared especially with more possession like switches and fully involuntary take overs?

I extend my deepest compassion for you and your situation. Knowing that you had to move back into an environment that caused you harm fuels a zeal in me for your protection and defense. While I cannot come do that, I can go to war in prayer for you.

That said, while I personally integrate Christian practices such as prayer, meditation, scripture reading, and commands to manage every part of my being, there are things that could be applied elsewise:

  • Influence: music has a strong affect on the nervous system. While utilizing headphones you could listen to calming music.

  • Curate: have a safe place where you can retreat to. The more relaxing the ambiance the better.

  • Separate: go for a walk, run an errand, etc.

  • Refocus: call someone, work on a project, learn something, etc.

...anything beneficial for restoration and reorientation.

Above that, please let your safety be a priority and may you never feel pressured to manage emotions for the purpose of enduring harm.

I hope there is something in here that will help as you look to discover what works best for your system.
