A good therapist can help with all those issues, but they are hard to find. At least that's what I think. I don't think they have the time or for some,the inclination,to take on the task fully. Modeling that parental behavior for you, by showing compassion and caring for you, and as you were as a child, and to allow you to grieve for what you missed, are just a few of the technqiues that can be used to help you get over these grueling feelings.
You know what? I believe you can learn to coddle yourself, to give yourself what you need.But you need to learn to feel better about yourself first,that you have value in the feelings you have today.
I'm playing amateur T on the board today. Sorry. I just see so many things gone wrong and I wonder what on earth has happened to the therapeutic profession. CBT/managed care/low reimbursements/drive to see more and more patients/and yes, I believe, greed drives some of their behaviors and makes them less able to help us as individuals and not as an appt at 4 pm on tuesday.
OK, I'll stop now.
But don't give up. I swear it's worth it. You won't believe how much you've changed when you work through your childhood issues, which, perhaps you are hiding from.
take care,
antigua
