Everyone learns in their own way. I feel empowered with an understanding of the science behind what is happening. I put in enormous effort to learn it, had to search and delve very deep. But just knowing the basis is only the start to healing. Stopping the bad behaviors and toxic relationships are another really rough road. I’ve also learned it is healthy to be alone with yourself sometimes, and to simply feel emotions and let them pass. This seems to be the next step in recovery. It’s a work in progress for all of us.
