What if I or your close friend or sibling described a similar set of events? Would you judge as harshly as you're judging yourself? I bet your therapist won't either.
I do my best not to judge people (T noticed this about me as well), so no I wouldn't. I would take you in my arms, and be there for you. I would allow you to hurt and accept that it was something you did and regret. And I would not ever bring it up again, because I know it would hurt you.

But most people are not like that.

I have heard others reaction to other people doing similar things and it has never been sympathetic, understanding or kind. I have been combing through everything as I write, giving her as much detail as possible (i'm at 5 pages and haven't even gotten to the second secret yet), and I have noticed that there are some things I have found a more clearer understanding of that I never realized before - though, most of these came from things i've learned with T.
