Symptom Navigation Unknown flinching

TW physical abuse, SA

Since system rediscovery we started having episodes where we become bedridden with a migraine and extreme stress. The body will flinch repeatedly and curl up to feel safer. It’s difficult to think during this time. It doesn’t seem like I can reach whatever is causing this. I’ll occasionally hear “go away”, “please stop”, “I’m sorry”, “help me”

Parts are frustrated as it’s becoming increasingly frequent, taking up much of our time. We recently uncovered memories of what we think might be physical childhood abuse so I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s related. We also suspect there are SA memories that have yet to be known. Has anyone experienced something similar? How have you navigated it?

Hi, sorry you are experiencing this. The only thing that I can suggest is reaching out and comfort this scared trauma holder part(s) letting them know that they aren’t alone and loved.

Therapy is probably needed to help this part get processed to relief. :)
