I’m very open with the fact that I was in years of intense therapy. I still get tune ups if I need it. I do believe we all have core wounds we’re constantly working on. I also think I’ve grown to be a very healthy person.
I have deep, deep father wounds that are never going to fully heal. I’ve worked on it, and they’re not bothersome most of the time. I recognize when it’s triggered and work through it. I just realize I’m going to probably live with it forever, the hope is that it gets smaller and smaller.
I have a history of abusive relationships that I’ve worked really hard to heal from. Stuff from that typically only comes up during conflict, but I’m aware of it and work on it. Thankfully it comes up with people who love me and that has been so healing.
Going from hyper independence to interdependence and learning to be in process with others has been.. work. But worth it.
I’ve always been incredibly hard on myself if I hurt people- it’s always unintentional, but how dare I be a human who makes mistakes!! I still have to be extra kind to myself and talk myself off the ledge when this comes up. Funny that I found this meme just today lol
