There are pieces of my story that feel like this...and sometimes I judge myself...like why does THIS part have such a hold on me? But you know what? They just do. And they're hard to talk about, and after I DO talk about them, I feel better.
It's easy to judge ourselves and our stories, but judging makes everything so much harder. I know for me, when I can just accept "this is still affecting me", and do the work with T around it, I get to feel better.
There were pieces of my story that I was embarrassed to tell T BECAUSE they seemed so "unimportant". But he treats them with the same care he treats everything else.
Whatever has a hold on us is important. It's important to find a way to release it, so that we can live as our authentic, not-scared selves.
