A breakthrough I made in therapy which has been helping me was discovering why I relapsed on harmful behaviors such as SH. I always told myself no, but the other me never listened. Because for awhile now, I haven’t viewed myself as someone worth listening to so it let my urges take advantage of me.
I’m still struggling even with this realization, but self esteem issues don’t go away at a whim’s notice unfortunately. Thank you for your response, because it is nice to know I’m not the only one whose finished with the haunting but still hearing the ghost whisper, to use a spooky metaphor.
