Looking into your own eyes from the eyes of another is chilling... Very telling. Yesterday during session, my mind wandered from the vacancy in my eyes to the truth behind them. The memories and secrets I had forgotten or tried to forget, came seeping back into my psyche. This time they didn't make me cringe. I couldn't. I was modeling and had to keep a straight face. This time I didnt hide from them. I had to remain still. The meditative process behind figure modeling continues to prove itself therapeutic overall. I sorted through the truth that I was exposed to a lot a child. There parts of my childhood that were silenced out of fear by my parents. Parts of me that were played up and so many parts that were just simply lost. So far, moving away has been about reconnecting with those true things. The parts of me that were lost or shied away from, be it because of trauma, lack of resources, fear or just the wounds left behind from abuse. My eyes are very telling... Even with the secrets I've kept locked away in a vault. And that kind of vulnerability... Is... Ok... As uncomfortable as it is. It is... Good. Is it... Healing. Fruitful even. Because I feel that much more connected to me. The true me. #drpoetry #deliciarashad #quote #quotes #poems #poem #selfcare #selflove #prose #wordsmith #goodreads #quotesabouther #poetrybooks #thoughts #poet #poetry #poetryinmotion #poetsofinstagram #writingcommunity #writersofig #darkwork #lightwork #selfwork #selfworth https://www.instagram.com/p/CLpfYscjC2J/?igshid=1qxv4nmvyumol
I”d want to create a love story. Twisted, yet true. Where the love is deep and knowing- it whispers between the scenes, and no one mentions its overbearing presence. Instead, we just let it exist with us- ruminating. A love that we never speak of but just allow to exist with us. Thick and graveled. ever-present regardless of space + time. The world is our stage and we only know to act our truest sleeves for one another. Jilted cueing and improvved responses. We exchange without scripts. I look forward to the sex scenes and those careless moments in crowded space. Between large groups, distance by our familiars and blaring music, our eyes always meet and reminisce of your touch comes over me and in that instant, we’re love making again. Hot kisses and body swallowing. I only desire the whole of you. All of you and who you are becoming. Rooftop blessings bring sunrises under thick wool blankets. Sharing coffee, tea, and debative words. I’m listening. I imagine you see me and the same scenes come to mind. You recognize them too. #drpoetry #deliciarashad #quote #quotes #poems #poem #selfcare #selflove #prose #wordsmith #goodreads #quotesabouther #poetrybooks #thoughts #poet #poetry #poetryinmotion #poetsofinstagram #writingcommunity #writersofig #darkwork #lightwork #selfwork #selfworth #mcm https://www.instagram.com/p/CEkrv3IDLYS/?igshid=1q42c3gp947ia
You are light. You are shadow. You are love. You are healing. You are growing. You are water. You are earth. You are fire. You are air. Everything you are is everything you need to be and more. Master your natural powers.

Begin again. Start now.

Taking some time this morning to journal, and I was reminded of the many gifts that have come my way. Remaining present has been my biggest feat when it comes to my healing and growth. As soon as I'm not here or I've gone too deep into my thoughts, I lose sight of a lot of the greatness and riches around me. I fall victim to my old thoughts and thought patterns, And if I don't catch myself, it manifests itself into second guessing myself and the choices I've made. So much of who i was still remains with me, and that's ok. I'm learning that I don't want to rid myself of the old me. She has purpose here too. Shes been a protector and savior. As well as a Baus and badass, when I needed her. However, she just doesn't do it for me in the present, At least not right now. And that's ok too. In the present, I need my softness. In the present, I need my reason and rationale. In the present, I need my presence to use discernment, to properly respond, Rather than react to "perceived" dangers. I have a lot to be grateful for, that my past self and present self have made possible. Yet, my future self knows my past self will only get me so far, And my present self knows my future self will not come to be the longer my past self is allowed to rule me. She has no purpose here, right now. Im still healing. Still having these conversations with myself each day I'm present enough to. Writing reminders in my journal for when my past self needs it. Its ok for her to be here with me, but her hands are off the wheel. She's learning her place and I'm taking mine. Showing up. Showing out. And shining. #drpoetry #deliciarashad #quote #quotes #poems #poem #selfcare #selflove #prose #wordsmith #goodreads #quotesabouther #poetrybooks #thoughts #poet #poetry #poetryinmotion #poetsofinstagram #writingcommunity #writersofig #darkwork #lightwork #selfwork #selfworth https://www.instagram.com/p/CEXD7MDjnaE/?igshid=1j8qu27jcbw10
The most important part of learning your triggers is to begin to combat them. As a therapist, and even in my own life, I’ve noticed that people have developed this idea that identifying one’s “triggers” suddenly means there are new eggshells for others to step on, Another layer of coded language that must be used, because your identified trigger now means, “Handle with care”. Unfortunately, this does nothing for your personal growth or development when it comes to these said triggers, And instead of learning to cope with them, you develop an expectation that other’s are responsible for how things make you feel. Instead, we need to learn how to recognize how our bodies feel when we’re triggered, What comes to mind, And remember that the situation is not our trauma. My heart starts racing and sometimes I feel my body start to get warm. Instead of reacting and using my knee-jerk response, because I’m triggered, thus uncomfortable with the situation and want the situation to change to make me feel better, I am working on choosing a different feeling association for my heart racing- I’ve been reminded of something. Something feels familiar, but the setting doesn’t match the memory- it’s not my trauma. I’m learning to playback enough to recognize where I was triggered and sort through what moved me, whether it’s real- based on the facts, all while bringing my physical responses back to calm. And it’s fucking hard! It’s hard to not just go off when someone says something that may sound slick, but instead tame that beast and respond to what is being said, instead of responding to what I feel. There’s a big difference, and it’s clear that people haven’t grasped this concept. Our triggers are just red flags and warning signs for OURSELVES, to remind US of those soft spots that still need some lovin’. But not from someone else- no one else can fix that, It’s our own responsibility. #drpoetry #deliciarashad #quote #quotes #poems #poem #selfcare #selflove #prose #wordsmith #goodreads #quotesabouther #poetrybooks #thoughts #poet #poetry #poetryinmotion #poetsofinstagram #writingcommunity #selfwork #ascension #therapy #growth #shadowwork https://www.instagram.com/p/CDeeLKDDQy_/?igshid=1jy3y4ygwtxg5
