For the last couple of weeks, my therapist and I have been working through the idea that all of my fulfillment or positive self-thinking comes from achievement and what others think of me.
This deep internalized chronic shame is a symptom of CPTSD and it is 100% at the root of most of my mental health issues. Studies show that self-expression is such an important way of combatting the depression that comes from chronic shame. And that’s just what you are doing here--expressing yourself! Which I think is so great.
may this land well...
The greatest accomplishment of yours that I like...
is you being you =)
no prerequisites, metrics, expectations, or criteria
you being you
