I learned that traumatic events in my childhood have influenced my relationships in the present.

I learned how awful my marriage really was.

I learned that I don't want to be an island, despite what that little girl said, so many years ago. Connection and attachment feel great.

I came to know several little girl ego states within myself, and I learned how to console and comfort them.

I learned that I have an adult male ego state who has been my protector.

I learned that even after many years of being hurt, and putting up walls, I still had the ability to form a deep relationship (rather readily). I guess I'm not damaged for life!

I still have a hard time saying this, but I learned I had suffered abuse.

I learned that with the right person beside you, you can push through a lot and accomplish things you never thought possible.
