Iām very open with the fact that I was in years of intense therapy.Ā Ā I still get tune ups if I need it.Ā Ā I do believe we all have core wounds weāre constantly working on.Ā Ā I also think Iāve grown to be a very healthy person.
I have deep, deep father wounds that are never going to fully heal.Ā Ā Iāve worked on it, and theyāre not bothersome most of the time.Ā Ā I recognize when itās triggered and work through it.Ā Ā I just realize Iām going to probably live with it forever, the hope is that it gets smaller and smaller.
I have a history of abusive relationships that Iāve worked really hard to heal from. Stuff from that typically only comes up during conflict, but Iām aware of it and work on it. Thankfully it comes up with people who love me and that has been so healing.
Going from hyper independence to interdependence and learning to be in process with others has been.. work. But worth it.
Iāve always been incredibly hard on myself if I hurt people- itās always unintentional, but how dare I be a human who makes mistakes!!Ā Ā I still have to be extra kind to myself and talk myself off the ledge when this comes up.Ā Ā Funny that I found this meme just today lol
