My t and I have had some terrific, yet difficult, sessions these last few weeks. Yesterday he walked me through the timeline of my abuse as a teenager and we pieced all the pieces together.

When we were done, he asked me what I want to do with it now. I'm ready to set that part of my life aside. It holds no power over me now. I've dealt with it for all these years, but until now I haven't gotten through it all. Now I have and I really don't feel much about it. I can talk about it without it tearing me apart, without dissociating, without blaming myself for the events, without much emotion anymore actually. It is just a series of events and memories that have no more power than any other events or memories in my life.

It's liberating it be here. Just celebrating I guess. Had to share. This has been a LLOOONNNNNGGGGGG road.
