"...In this never-ending moment, I realized I would have to surrender my defenses even when my body was communicating the threat of death. If I were to force my partner to take responsibility for my feeling of rejection and abandonment, it wouldn’t align us with the intention for our relationship. If I were to escape my feelings I would be out of relationship with myself and, thus, with them as well. My emotions are not my partner’s responsibility. Instead of accepting my body’s survival response as truth, I chose to allow the bodily sensation of death to consume me whole.
