I agree with tree. You deserve love and respect and acceptance. My T, using IFS, would tell you to accept and have compassion for ALL of your parts. They acted the way they needed to in the past.

You're doing so great, granite!! You've come so far; I feel good inside that you are making such huge strides in therapy. You have a lot of strengths in that it's been a slow process for you, but you kept plugging along!!!
