As some of you know, I love bears

I also like wolves and many other beautiful creatures. Some might find them ''scary'' but I find H.sapiens to be the scariest animal. (no other animals that I'm aware of are ''manipulative'' for example, not in the highly ''evolved'' and cruel way that some humans are. ) (not about anyone on msf....)

I have a somewhat vague memory of a story about how ''many'' of us have two wolves inside us, a wolf of light and a wolf of darkness. Which wolf do you feed? I try to feed the wolf of light. However I feel that completely denying any darker feelings such as anger isn't exactly healthy for a survivor of trauma and abuse in childhood, and is not conducive to growth or to healthy relationships.

Indeed, Pete Walker (and others) talk convincingly about how grieving and angering can help in healing the harm that a traumatising ''family'' of origin does, in CPTSD (complex PTSD)

Love to ALL
