The "I Need A Hug" Thread

My belief is that because I was different ages as a child, I have child-selves of different ages.

These internal 'child-selves' have been through hell, some of them have no words for their pain, and some have never experienced love.

Today, I am asking for hugs for my wounded child-selves.

I need a hug because I need therapy but I'm too chicken to ask for help and talk about what happened to me. I'm terrified a new therapist will also not take me seriously, just like my last one.
 
Thoughts of care and compassion, otherwise known as (hugs), to all that need them ;)

I'm sorry for your loss, @littlelostchild. I bet your friend hears you, wherever she is right now, and loves you no less.

@Snowwhite, I'm so sorry something traumatic happened to you. You deserve better support. In all the meantime, hang on tight, you've got this, you got through life's hardships before and you will do it again.
 
@Snowwhite : I know the situation you're in. I was in the same only half a year ago. Therapists can be traumatizing themselves just by hurting you and not taking you seriously. ...but I didn't give up and and I found a great therapist. Keep going. I know the search is hard and a way full of stones...but I'm positive that you will find the right therapist for you. *giving you encouraging-never-give-up-hugs*

@littlelostchild : I'm so sorry for your loss. *gives you a caring and empathic hug* ...I'm sure that your best friend watches over you and loves you no matter what.

@Cashew: *just offering hugs because you deserve them* :hug::hug:

@Recovery4Me : *hugging you - long and caring* :hug: ...wonderful persons always deserve hugs. ;)
 
Thank you all so much for your hugs, kind words and support :hug: sending you big hugs and much love and comfort. I hope you'll all feel as snug as this little hedgehog.

@littlelostchild I am so sorry you lost your best friend. I can hardly imagine how much that must hurt. I wish you lots of love and strength to get through these tough times. :hug: and thank you for still sending me hugs, in spite of everything that's going on in your life right now. That is very kind of you.

@Cashew thanks so much for your reassuring words. Your support means a lot to me. :hug:

@Recovery4Me you are so kind and you make me feel so accepted, thank you for the big hugs :hug:

@Anrish thank you for sharing that with me and for the reassuring words. Your story gave me a little more hope to find the right T. Giving you big, warm hugs back. :hug:
