((((P7))))

My T gave me an article on Shame last year that I still think about. One of the examples the authors gave of 'shame in our lives', is not speaking up when we get incorrect change at the counter.

Why not speak up for what is rightfully ours? Because we don't want to draw attention to ourselves, because we don't feel like we deserve it, because we learned from our childhood that speaking up might have consequences...

You ABSOLUTELY deserve to be heard and comforted and supported and loved.

I think the 'secondary issue' of not speaking up at the store might be linked to what is happening with T. Perhaps it would be easier to talk with T about what happened at the store, and why you did not speak up?

Not sure if this helps. Be safe and kind to yourself P7.
