Comment on When Safety Feels Like a Trap by Rachel

Dr. Mozelle,
Wow, your assessment of this issue is spot-on. It perfectly describes what has been my experience with becoming used to a cessation of trauma induced drama. And more than that, it served as an ephiphany into a current friendship with a CPSTD comrade. As I was reading your words, I realized I was offering this friend what had been offered to me: a safe friendship. I had been feeling a bit low about my inability to connect with others and my repeated “failure” to be of use to anyone. Reading this made me realize I AM able to be there for someone else and allow them to feel all of the things you described in dealing with sudden, almost enforced calm without judgment, or conditions placed on them.
Thank you so very much. It means more than words can express.
