I think too that the need to do it right, to win approval gets in the way here. If we *did* survive that bad stuff, if we *are* strong, then what are we still doing in therapy and being a mess? How can we need help if we are *that* strong?
And if "they" notice we had inner strength, won't they expect to use that inner strength now, when we don't feel it? As much as I hate it when things are expected of me, I NEED to live up to the expectations of strength, greatness and independence.
Just some thoughts I had. I react exactly the same way.
