> guess I can take a new paragraph somewhere...This made me laugh -- you're one of us, we'll send you a map to the clubhouse and teach you the secret handshake. (I wish we did have a secret clubhouse.)
> I know what you mean when you say that you are punishing yourself, I feel the same, why is it that we just cant stop?
You know, after hearing it from my T in slightly different context, I just got this: we can stop punishing ourselves when we learn that it's OK to ask for comfort, and learn to comfort ourselves. Maybe some sort of self-soothing technique could help? Make a deal with you: let's both try to do that, just once, and see how it goes? We can report back to each other the success or failure of the exercise.
> will let you take a break...sorry for the epic rant.....Honey -- you ain't got nothing on me! If you check the archives, I've got rants that go on far longer than yours -- in fact, what you posted here would be a short post from me!
I hope you have a good week.
