This is a term i heard years ago... i was having i very hard time with my PTSD. Looking back im sure it was because i was bathing in my triggers. Kept myself in third gear pinned at all times. It was comfortable, it was familiar... it was my baseline. Hyperaware, hyper-reactive. I wonder how many cardiac events ive had that i dont know about.
Self mastery refers to being able to control the chaos in your mind. That i admit i still sm learning.
It is something I find easier to take on when in a dynamic. Being that there is a sense of safety provided by someone other than myself. Im free to help battle my demons along side the hand im under.
It's a nice thought though...
