It does hurt...and talking about the awfulness has the potential to allow some really terrible feelings come to the surface. It's a gradual process - but a painful one....one that needs to happen in order to get to the other side. You are doing great.

Please try to find things to do that usually make you happy....to distract yourself. I know not long ago, I had an intense session...and T told me, "I want you to not think it about it anymore today. Do something nourishing for your soul".....

It was very hard to do....and even when I wasn't thinking about it, the feelings - the anxiety - was still there. So tough to get through. But the other option is just burying it...and we've been doing that for way too long and it has caused so many problems within us.....doing something different is scary. But hopefully worth it.
