Hi there,
I've been dealing with PTSD, dissociation, social anxiety and other related issues for years. I still find myself stuck in fear.
After a lot of work in therapy and on my own, I've finally been able to determine that what I fear is that 'my dad will come and hit me'. I left home years ago but this fear remains unresolved for me, and it's spilling into every interaction with people that I face! This is really making my life very hard..
When I ask myself 'What do I need to get past this' I hear 'someone to tell me that YES, bad people DO exist, but not everyone is like that'. Could someone confirm this for me? Sometimes, I just need to hear these bits of wisdom from someone other than myself..
