It helps our inner children to hear that the things that happen to them and around them are not their fault. That, yes, in fact, they deserved better than what they got. Hugs to that frightened little girl. Hugs to you.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11664358098975211181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126211245820138710.post-39689727429253867042011-10-29T12:11:01.968-07:002011-10-29T12:11:01.968-07:00So, so beautiful.

My breaking point was much as you describe, mostly on the inside. Externally functioning. Inside, a whole other story. <br /><br />I think, no, I know, this healing I am doing now, is where my soul needs to be. I never thought I had this much creativity in me, and what a beautiful blessing it is, to simply sit, reflect, and write the story.Aubreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14446536419028814256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126211245820138710.post-18199817209582162902011-10-25T20:46:51.651-07:002011-10-25T20:46:51.651-07:00There is no owing.

I think the roots of your shame and fear may be different than mine. But the symptoms sound the same. And I'm sorry. It sucks.<br /><br />By the way, I can't afford therapy either. I also can't live without it.

And this is what I get. <br /><br />Tears and relief and laughter and beauty. I have been in a bad place for several days recently, haunted by memory, haunted by toxic shame, fear. Things I thought I had exorcised. Things I thought I was "over."

You actually spoke exactly right--COMPASSION--it's not something that comes naturally to that little girl in me, so to literally, and freely re-write the story, the emotion, was a very powerful experience. :)<br /><br />@CJ--You give me more credit than I give myself, because I Aubreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14446536419028814256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126211245820138710.post-87887271472373400172011-10-25T08:44:54.177-07:002011-10-25T08:44:54.177-07:00I relate to this on so many levels.
