I Am A Caring Person

[Deleted member 28942]

I have some good news to share.

Today I had a two hour session with my therapist. I was able to tell her a lot of things and to tell her how I experience things. I also asked her to do EMDR on a cognition "I am selfish because I don't think of anybody else". Throughout the session I was scared then cried then I remembered saving kittens and dogs from the street. Also, I remembered my grandma loving me. I came to the cognition "I am a caring person". I felt overjoyed, euphoric, and started seeing all the ways in which I care for people. Tears of tenderness came to my eyes. They are coming again as I am writing this.

Now I have another cognition to work on: "I don't deserve to be treated good". I am looking forward to the next session. It's kinda funny because now I have the believe "I am a caring person and I do NOT deserve to be treated good". It is totally absurd.

That's a big realization and inner truth! I remember the day I finally realized I have a good heart. I have kept my heart kind through it all. ❤

Congratulations on this big step forwards. I remember when that began to happen to me. You do deserve so much good because you are a caring person. I hope you remember these kindnesses in your life when the inner critic comes to call.
