I couldn't help imagining your workshop poster activity. I cringe whenever i attend a class or workshop and the speaker starts handing out the large sheets of paper and markers. LOL. I hate these activities is because they not only require introspection and self assessment, but also standing up and sharing it with the group. I usually learn a lot, but am really uncomfortable doing it.

I have been really poor at that--knowing what I am feeling inside and what need isn't being met.

I've realized through therapy how totally out of touch I am with what i personally need or want. I've ignored myself for a long time, I have no idea what my personal wants/need are. My sun would not have many rays at this point.

Therapy has had a profound effect on a lot of my relationships (children, friends and professional). As I've connected with the inner me and started to risk sharing it with others, they have responded positively and moved closer to me. It seems like the only relationship that has not improved is the one with my H.

I really think I need to continue to get to know myself (all the ego states), even if it means that some relationships don't survive this exploration.
