I go to therapy because the emotional pain is just too great to feel/handle/overcome on my own. I no longer was able to thrive or survive on my own as I was trying to do it.
I'm trying to learn how:
-to release some of it, heal from it, and overcome past traumas,
-coping skills for when I am overcome,
-to get up again and again when I fall on my *****,
-to communicate better and relate better to others,
-to let go of what I cannot control,
-to be more present and not in the anxiety of future or the regret/shame/hurt of the past,
-to create a stronger me that can continue life, to let go of coping skills that hurt rather than help,
-to face what I cannot face on my own (for now),
-to learn how to trust someone that is safe and worthy of my respect and heart...
-to integrate the parts of me and re-join my head to my heart and body.
-to find hope when there is despair,
-and to learn about the parts of my MI's that need professional medical treatment.
I think the hardest part for me has been the idea that it takes many approaches and a long time (for me) and that it is a really winding road to healing. I could not do it without really good professional support and a lot of patience and courage. But those are just my reasons and part of my path to the future. Everyone is very different.
