Symbology:<\/p>\n
Girl<\/p>\n
During trauma, dissociation takes place as a self-defence against pain,
\nsuffering and abuse. The mind unconsciously detaches from reality,
\nfrom what you are feeling and experiencing in order to protect itself. As
\na result, you feel emotionally disconnected from yourself, unable to feel
\nintense emotions.<\/p>\n
Bound hands<\/p>\n
When a child is denied justice for abuses against them, that hurt
\nbecomes rage against those who was not held accountable, for what was
\ntaken\/stolen from them without their consent. It becomes a struggle to
\nlet things go when you were wronged, made feel helpless and afraid.<\/p>\n
Compass<\/p>\n
A compass points you in the right direction to reach your destination.<\/p>\n
It also represents balance, therefore, in order to find the right path, one
\nneeds balance and harmony.<\/p>\n
NORTH => ENERGY: Inner warrior, balance, mastery of mind;<\/p>\n
SOUTH => MATTER: Healing of past, physical body and body truth;<\/p>\n
WEST => TIME: Inner child, feelings, overcoming fear, death;<\/p>\n
EAST => SPACE: Spirit, vision, illumination, service.<\/p>\n
Symbology:<\/p>\n
Broken Light Bulb<\/p>\n
A broken light bulb usually represents a loss of thought, loss of
\ncontrol, or even transition (into something better).<\/p>\n
What consumes your mind, consumes your life, therefore, be selective
\nwith your thoughts \u2013 this is a power you can cultivate.<\/p>\n
In the frailty of being venerable and broken, find your courage and
\nstrength in your mind.<\/p>\n
Clock & Butterfly<\/p>\n
Apart from the obivius, a clock often represents the delicate balance
\nbetween life and death, a reminder that time is limited (mortality). It
\ncan also symbolize the ebbs and flows of life itself, the various phases
\nand importance of each moment.<\/p>\n
The butterfly represents metamorphosis and transformation.<\/p>\n
Therefore, with time you can move from one phase of your life to the
\nnext, reaching higher, reaching outward, leaving safety to find your
\nown place in life.<\/p>\n
Semi Colon ( ; )<\/p>\n
This is used when an author could\u2019ve chosen to end their sentence but
\nchoose not to.<\/p>\n
The semicolon represents a life with mental health struggles, like
\ndealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, dysphoria (a state of feeling
\nuneasy, dissatisfied), etc.; a path that includes self-harm and suicide
\nattempts.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe semicolon is a reminder that I\u2019ve faced dark times, but I am still
\nhere.\u201d (Parker Molloy)<\/p>\n
Survival Tattoo<\/p>\n
\u201cTrauma permanently changes us. There is no such thing as \u2018getting over
\nit.\u2019 A major life disruption leaves a new normal in its wake. There is no
\n\u2018back to the old me\u2019. You are different now. full stop.<\/p>\n
The goal of healing from trauma is not papering-over of changes in an
\neffort to preserve or present things as normal. It is to acknowledge and wear
\nyour new life \u2013 warts, wisdom, and all \u2013 with courage.\u201d<\/p>\n
(Catherine Woodiwiss)<\/p>\n
\u201cI am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become.\u201d<\/p>\n
