It was exhausting. Bits of it were triggering. I stayed home one day a complete wreck. The time leading up to it I was falling apart all over the place, just thinking about the logistics of getting there.

But I finished it. I now have a nice piece of paper saying what I have accomplished, and more importantly, I have a whole slew of techniques now to help people. What am I proud of specifically?

* Speaking up about something that was triggering me and making a specific request, in a constructive way.
* Upgrading my skills at something I can use to be of service.
* Believing I have something of value to offer, and letting that belief be stronger than my insecurity.
* Making progress at understanding different kinds of people and how to work with them instead of withdrawing.

I am exhausted, and I am afraid of losing the structure of the course because it means going back to the part of my life where I have to make decisions and where there is time to feel... and feeling can be dangerous. But I did it. I got through it. Hurray for me!
 
BIG Congrats!
