Crew, It's funny you should be talking about shame right now... My T and I were talking about it last week... I realized it was really interesting about how I don't often feel shame about my decisions and/or choices in life... but I do when it comes to the abuse that SOMEONE ELSE chose to do TO ME (and especially for the residual complications still in my life... ie: insecurities, dp, PTSD, anxieties, the inability to work at this time, etc) ...I don't know why that is exactly... why I would feel shame for things I couldn't control, but rarely do for the things I can...
