"we're as sick as our as our secrets" came to mind after Yesterdays session. I told T something that has always sat in my mind peering down on me, but always felt ashamed to say it. Something I did to someone important to me a long time ago. as I spoke the words I knew for sure that even as painful as it was to admit, the acknowledging and owning of it was far better than being in denial.
As I drove home the saying about secrets really rang true. It was true, I have carried the guilt for so long but now it was shared. Someone else knew it too.
I emailed T asking if what I had told her made her angry at me. She replied saying no, not angry but sad my life at that point was difficult and that like I had said - at least I wasnt In denial and that I had already worked hard to change those early difficulties and the person concerned sees that and knows and that means a lot.
