Hi all,
I have a lot of songs that connect me to my trauma, as a means of helping me get into processing. Some bring up sadness, some bring up anger, some bring up loneliness - but i see it as processing as i am blocked off.
Here are some of mine:
- i will survive by gloria gaynor
- Nothing else matters (metallica)
- Concrete Angle (Martina McBride)
- It shouldnt hurt to be a child (very triggering) - unsure of writter
- I dont care by Apocalyptica
keen to see what others have also?
thanks

A scar is the tattoo of a triumph to be proud of. It says the hurt is over and the wound is closed. It means you conquered the pain, learned a lesson, grew stronger, and moved forward. There is a beauty in my scars that I can see now.
