[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 597833, member: 1721"] Witz, you have done the right thing. I remember feeling that way as I entered therapy, too. What I learned is that it was fear of the feelings that was preventing me from dealing with them. I was so scared too, Witz. As it began working, I felt myself breathe, really breathe, fully and freely, perhaps for the first time. I can't even describe that feeling Witz, except to tell you that it felt like the color pink. I found myself choosing different, more comfortable clothing. Found that I was allowing compassion for myself, in my thoughts, when always before, I had raged at and condemned myself [I]without even realizing it, because that was the only way I knew to teach or to talk to myself.[/I] Small steps are so good, Witz. You deserve to treat yourself gently, and with great compassion. You have been very brave. Here is a quote I love: The pain body may seem to you like a dangerous monster that you cannot bear to look at, but I assure you that it is an insubstantial phantom that cannot prevail against the power of your presence. The Power of Now Eckhart Tolle Barbara [/QUOTE]
