One major way we heal is by making sense of what happened to us. Simply by being able to tell a coherent narrative about what happened can go a long way to healing triggers.
Also, you can use art to understand and and heal attachment wounds.
Below are some drawing I did to represent what it feels like too live with attachment trauma.
“Man and Female Try to Touch”
‘No One Lives His Life’ by Rainer Maria Rilke
No one lives his life.
Disguised since childhood,
haphazardly assembled
from voices and fears and little pleasures,
We come of age as masks.
Our true face never speaks.
Somewhere there must be storehouses
where all these lives are laid away
like suits of armor or old carriages
or clothes hanging limply on the walls.
Maybe all paths lead there,
to the repository of unlived things.
