Well, I had my two-hour, empty chair session today. The first of several. Feeling like I got a lot done, but am emotionally drained. I could use some cyber hugs if you have them to spare.
thanks. |

Empty chair is, in a very basic description, where you sit across from an empty chair and talk to it as if the person who abused you was actually there. Then you switch places. You also talk as an adult to your inner child. It's complex, but that's it in a nutshell. It seems silly, but it for me was an amazing way to release feelings that I could not release any other way.

two hours with an empty chair? You need real hugs. this is all I have at the moment
but I hope someone in your life can hold you and let you rest a little, and let their strength flow into you. oh my gosh that was so well done.

I can understand why that could be very emotional draining. You have alot of strength to do that!
