You are doing really good work!
I think it's a huge step for me in terms of understanding myself and my reactions in the past. And I hope that it will help me rebuild confidence and a sense of self as I continue.

Thanks. I don't really feel like I chose to have compassion for myself. I think I just feel safe enough and known enough that I can start to accurately look at my past and my responses, and with that comes accurately knowing how painful it all was and how much I didn't get that I needed.
