Think of the people you care for and respect on this board. How many of them are being seen by more than "the usual"...meaning a T and p-doc? Quite a few. How many didn't approach their healing this way until well into their forties or fifties? Again quite a few. Do you think less of anyone for needing more people on their team in order to heal? Strongly doubt it.
***Of course I don't think less of them. I guess I just have unrealistic expectations of what I *should* do for myself. I feel like I'm being so much trouble for everyone. It is an old feeling.Allow yourself the same compassion you would extend to others so instantly....eventually you'll see yourself as so deserving of this team approach to healing. You ARE worth the time, efforts and energies of these people because you deserve to heal.
***How do you make yourself believe this? It is such a core thing...if my mom didn't think I was worth saving, why should anyone else??Nothing wrong with having more help available to learn to use as additional healing resources. Lots of practice helps make reaching out easier eventually. Having a team helps create space in which to practice. Life IS the dress rehearsal ;) so practice and learn and keep healing.
***I'm trying. Really trying. I tell myself that at least this should help calm my fears of overwhelming my therapist. And maybe hearing the same thing from several people will help it sink in. (Maybe?)Relieved you're still here and proud you've remained on your healing path through all these rough times
***Thanks. I scared myself this time because I truly didn't care anymore. I can't say I'm all the way back, I'm shocked at attractive it sounds to just give up and go to sleep forever. I wish the path would wind downhill for awhile. I'm really tired of the constant climb.I've missed you around here. Thanks for popping in and helping me.
