Thank you for sharing your session Annie. That really took guts on your part. I think I'm at the opposite end of the spectrum. I'm so sure that someone "doesn't mean to" that when I feel hurt or something feels like a criticism, I look to myself and ask why am I reacting this way? My therapist tells me it is a way of maintaining control. I can see that this is true. I'm planning THEIR defense for them. I did that a lot today. "yes, I'm mad at my mom, but she was a single mother and had a lot on her plate" immediately negating my own experience.
We talked about the word hate today a lot. It is all over my writings but I rarely use it out loud. I don't let me kids use it, I think it is such a powerful word. It feels like fury itself tied up in letters for me. He said it is a very good word and I shouldn't be afraid of it. That you can hate the "thing" and not the person. I'll have to think about that concept.
