I agree - it IS a spring board!
by: mxkx

My experience has been very similar to yours, only I found this website as opposed to hearing one of the lectures. I have been through the therapy game time and time again with little to no results. However, just learning what I have from this website has set off a series of rapid changes in myself that I can hardly believe. Mind you, it has taken work - I didn't just read what was here and start taking off.

There has been a lot of time spent assessing myself and in the beginning I had to fight a lot of internal resistance to digging up the past and digging up how I REALLY felt about things. There have been many tears shed in the process but they have been tears with an actual purpose rather than just being a unwanted release of pain that is doomed to build up again. I cry, I resolve it, and it's ok.

The low self esteem and self doubt are going to take longer to fix, and there are still a lot of past issues that need resolution I'm sure, but I finally have REAL hope that I can fix it and I finally am making the changes I need to in my life in order to fix it. That is a lot more than I can say "traditional" counseling ever did for me.

I just wish more of us knew that we needed counseling specific to what we have been through and that traditional counseling just doesn't cover childhood issues as thoroughly as this kind of counseling does.

Thanks Brenda!

I really appreciate the thoughtful comments about the events you attended. It's my hope that others will read this and decide to attend some events as well. You and I have a message to get out there about recovery.

I'm hoping newcomers like yourself will find these Forums a good place to "chronicle your recovery" for others to see -- What better way to provide a glimpse into what is available than being able to "peek in" on someones else's journey.

Let me know if you'd like your own BlogSpace page where others can check in on your posts & comments from time to time. (That goes for anyone else who is reading this right now!)

Contact me directly at don@internet-of-the-mind.com for more information or copy and paste the following link into your browser to find out more about our BlogSpaces -- http://www.internet-of-the-mind.com/blogspaces.html -- it can be like having your own public journal online to share your experience, strength and hope with others.
