Thanks for the thoughtful response!
Yeah, I heard for some people it can take years... So, I shouldn't expect too much too quick! But, even what I've experienced so far after only a few sessions has been quite profound.
Well said. I'm definitely in a much better position to take corrective steps and to hopefully make progress and avoid previous mistakes!
That's also what I've heard from quite a few people through comments or YouTube videos that this type of therapy is superior to drugs, which is once again weird why the medical industry won't look at it more...
That's good to hear that your studies helped you with some of your childhood trauma!
Sorry to hear about the situation with your parents, though I can definitely relate.
That's awesome you have your own family now! :) And good to hear you try to avoid harming your little girl. And yeah, I'm sure parenting must be very difficult! It's intimidating for sure, but I would like to experience it.
Yes, I think everyone is doing the best they know how to for the most part and I also agree that it's up to us to break the cycle and I'm going to do my best! <3 Thank you for the well wishes and same to you! I wish you love and happiness and a full happy heart as well! :)
It was a long read, but I enjoyed it. 8 guess I could relate alot. I'm sorry about your home situation as well growing up. All we can do is try and see the positives and learn from it. Then it was not a waste. Experiences make us who we are. If we had it easy, we might not be as self reflective and started a whole new cycle instead of breaking it. Life has a funny way of showing us wisdom.
Keep working on yourself and you will atract that positive soul mate. As I get older I've learnt that everyone has shit going on at home, some people's are just more hectic than others. But noone is without demons and we gotta work on ourselves before we try and be with others. We are responsible for our own happiness. I always tell my husband, I don't have to be in this relationship I want to be here. It helped that I did a lot of healing before I met him, and his childhood was not as traumatising.
You'll find your person, when you ready. Now you gotta find yourself and love yourself, cracks and all. There is so much happiness to find like this, even before you let someone in.
