"letting Go Of Anger"

[AngelKeeperJ]

Letting go isn't something that can simply be done with a wish. Nor is it for anyone else to tell me what I need to work on or how. I have a Pdoc and a T and some really good friends who are helping me make a path.

You are sure right about this! When it comes to 'working' our path, it's an individual experience. So glad to see that you have a Pdoc & T, AND good friends. A good team that will help you much! You have learned how to reach out, and for many that's the biggest battle.

God bless you as you proceed forward!

I think it is a v ery triggering statement to get over it or to let go of it. We did'nt get this way over night and there is no way in hell that we will get over it on someone elses timetable. I hope I am understanding this correctly.

Just because someone means well does'nt mean that their comments aren't insensitive and uncaring. It is so easy to offer solutions when one does'nt know the depths of the problems. If it is hurting you, you are being hurt. Sure the ideal would be to consider the source but it is the ideal not the reality.​

Her words sounded trite and shallow. Her therapy isn't comparable to yours. Sometimes when a little knowledge is there, it does'nt cover the ignorance. If you were told to get over this stuff before by others also ignorant, it can be quite insulting.​

​

Sorry but it feels like she layed a load of shame on you. You did'nt deserve it. Just because someone means well does'nt mean that it does'nt hurt.​

​

I think I will always hav e a problem with comments like that. Well I do not know if these words helped or hurt, it wasn't my intention to hurt. i was shooting for some validation of your experience.​

Thank you to EVERYONE for their feedback and advice. I couldn't articulate very well what was bothering me when I started this topic, but you've all helped me feel as if I can articulate it now, and that my feelings of resentment were okay to feel. :)
