Hey everyone, just wanted to say that I've spent over a week traveling with my boyfriend, and I've managed very well with HSP and deactivation issues. I'm almost a normal person maybe, hahaha. I've been able to check in here quite a bit which actually might be avoidant but it's a good kind of avoidant , because it's therapeutic? 😜I've been on my phone here and there to be in my bubble but it's not been a problem. We've had a great time, and are headed home, flying.
Travel used to be a big stressor for me, but I'm getting better at it!

This is amazing progress. Being triggered by travel is something I've only recently started to explore so I know how hard it can be to deal with. I think coming on here is a pretty healthy coping mechanism. I would throw categorize it the same as journaling. The last time I traveled with a partner was only three days and I felt so guilty after because I didn't understand the need for space that arose.

I think I started sharing here last summer and travel at that time was very very difficult and I deactivated terribly. I learned about HSP here (definitely a huge issue for me) and started learning how to work with that, and also just growing more secure (participating here and reading the help threads has helped a LOT). So it really is incredible to have such a positive travel experience. We have a lot of travel planned (he is the energy behind that ) so this is encouraging and I'm able to enjoy and be peaceful much more as we prepare, explore, and come home. It was just super stressful before. |

Oh, and really was nice to come read and participate here, in little quiet breaks. Felt like it kept me grounded kind of. It's been a part of my routine lately and my routine was upside down so it was nice.
