Nope. It's not like just opening your hand and letting them fall to the ground. I, for one, needed the help of a good therapist to help me unclench my fist and look at the insecurities and listen again to all the negative, painful stuff that had been said or done to me. Since my perps were all dead, she helped me with imagery so that I could confront the perps and tell them where they were wrong and how their thinking was wrong and that I'm NOT the worthless, poor excuse for a human being they had me believe I was.

It's kinda like taking a test then self checking your answers. You erase or scratch out the wrong answers and write in the right answers.

There's more to the process but it sure is worth it!
