I know that I cannot stop the process of hurting whiling trying to heal.
Several months back I put down the Courage to Heal workbook and left it down. I wasn't pushed by my T because she knew I had to be ready to start the work again.
Today, I picked up where I last left off...coping mechanisms.
It was intense, painful, memories coming back...but I was proud of myself for doing the work.
I cannot wait till my next appt w/ T. She will be shocked..delighted probably too that I took this step all on my own.
I still struggle with dealing w/ Little. There are still things to iron out.
I guess I am still a work in progress.

I have done the same thing.. put down the book and the workbook for long periods of time and then went back to it when I felt ready....but I too had to admit that the pain wasn't going to stop....

I have heard that if you tell the little one it is safe.. be her mommy... hold her and be gentle with her so she feels safe. then it is easier fo rher to be open about the abuse....

I am holding you in my thoughts... Faith

It is huge to remember you are a survivor.... but you have courage and strength you don't even know about....

You are going to get through.. and when you feel the healing you will know it was well worth it...

And remember too that you are not alone.. you have us here cheering you on... praying for you .... holding your hand...

Be easy with yourself... Faith
