Living As All of Me

[NarcKiddo]

I find boundaries, conflict very stressful, painful and even triggering. But maybe boundaries, taking a stand, NO are essential parts of being oneself, parts of me.

Same. Thank you for saying this because I need to hear it.

I'm sorry you are scared and sad and had a falling out with your therapist.

Thank you, Chart. I really appreciate the support. There is definitely commitment and love here, and understanding. Feeling grateful. And sad.

i echo everyone's thoughts, hannah1.  falling out w/ your therapist can be so painful, can make us question ourselves to the nth degree.  i do believe conflict, boundaries, etc. are on the path to being our very own selves, but i also know it takes practice.  i think the more we believe in ourselves as people, the more we are comfortable with that notion, the easier it gets.  maybe not to the point where we enjoy confrontation/boundary setting, but at least to the point where we know it's important for reclaiming our 'selves' and we do it for that reason.

we're here w/ you.  love and hugs
