Title: Broke down in therapy Post by: stoic83 on March 02, 2013, 01:41:16 PM Hey guys,
I broke down in therapy yesterday. We were talking about letters of empathy i wrote to my family a long time ago. I just lost it... . seriously i didn't know i had it within me to cry that hard. I felt an emotional release... . and I am just pretty raw these days. I just want to heal and not be in pain anymore. I am tired of analyizing and analyzing the psychology of myself and others. I am tired of worrying about how I make others feel all the time, instead of how I feel. I just want to heal and be at peace with myself again... . when i have had those brief moments of oneness with myself, it feels a lot better. I am trying to accept things for what they are and look for solutions and that is easier than fighting against what is. I am tired of looking at the cracks in the glass and just want to see clearly again... . the big picture, and not fight so hard to fix broken glass cutting myself over and over again. I am greiving for a messed up childhood, and a masochistic personality that I would not have chosen for myself. I care about myself, and I deserve to be taken care of... . so I will do that instead of projecting my own needs on to others. I will embrace my emotions and allow myself to feel them... . and try not to react out of defense and panic... . and just allow myself to feel my way through things again... . back in those rare moments when I trusted in myself, and acted in alignment with what I felt was "the greatest good" I did much better... . than when I allowed myself to be influenced by the ideals of others, and or lost my sight of what my "greatest good" was... somewhere along the path.
