Omg thanks for that. It brought on an epiphany of sorts for me. I seem to be operating under this whole "good girl persona" that t's been trying to get me to rid myself of for 3 years. I am seeing what she means in a new light, this goes hand in hand with accepting and integrating my "shadow parts". Now I think I am understanding this shadow work part of the process a little better. Thank you for sharing that.

Oh, hell yeah. This. Refusing to accept the dark parts of yourself essentially means you're pushing at least part of your responsibility for yourself onto the people around you. Perfectly fine and normal in children, but can have seriously scary consequences in adults (ask me how I know!), not to mention being just plain annoying.
