I am going through a lot emotionally, having done a lot of inner work these last few weeks while my therapist has been away. It is bittersweet; I am getting in touch with parts of me who shut down decades ago, only to have them resurface and feel safe enough for me to experience their feelings. Their feelings and realizations about how they perceived the world because of what others pummeled into their psyche long before they even had words. Extremely painful stuff but it's necessary and good to have it come out. It gives me more of an appreciation of the world as it is and not as what 'I' have thought it to be. Enough for now..husband home. Need to connect.
