After a year in therapy, we have decided it is time to do some serious work on my past abuse issues. I was physically and emotionally abused by multiple family members.
I feel ready to finally do this, but am very scared. I never allowed myself to experience the emotions associated with the treatment I received since I was 8 years old.
We did a short empty chair session today and it was rough. I have a two-hour session Friday for more of it.
This is the brass tacks of it for me. I know once I do this, it'll be better. But, it's going to be soooo hard.
Any advice?
