In reply to letter writing therapy?, posted by JLynn on March 21, 2005, at 22:33:39
do what you just did, except give yourself permission to let out all of that emotion DIRECTED AT/TO HER. Addresses to her. Give yourself permission to yell at her for "not seeing what YOU should have seen"- the YOU instead of SHE gives more power to your statement. It makes your writing a declaration of your rights instead of "talking it out"
That is the point. That is the only thing that separates the "venting writing" that you just did from the "letter writing therapy".
Try it again with "you" replacing "she" and post it again....
I think you'll be amazed at how you feel (good and bad) about the difference... More good than bad is usual- if you feel more "bad", take that feeling to your next T appt... That usually signifies to me that I feel guilty that I can't let go of the anger, and takes different work...
Can you tell I've done this, too????!
