How Much Of What We Think Of As An Admirable Response To Trauma - The "stiff Upper Lip" - Is Actually Dissociation, The Mind's Attempt To Protect Us From Experiences That Are Too Painful To Digest? I Can Recall The Facts, At Least Some Of Them. But I Don't Feel Very Much. At Least, The Feelings I Have Are Not Kind. They Are Not Sympathetic Toward My Fifteen-year-old Self. It Happened. It Happens To A Lot Of Women. I Survived. Most Women Do. I Am "strong," But In Those Moments Of Strength, I Don't Feel. I Will Admit That I Am Very Afraid Of One Thing. Not Just Afraid. Ashamed. I Am Afraid That I Am Incapable Of Love. (11)
