Still need to work through early trauma
Gaining Strength:
Today, I am going to be present to my shame, name it, acknowledge it, be aware of it, talk to it and most critically do work in its presence. If I am able to work in its presence I will be on my way to a major healing level.
Gaining Strength:
I am excited about this. It is feeling very nice. Fingers crossed.

So at EMDR yesterday, we focused on a childhood memory which has all the ingredients of my stuck endless. For the first time I saw something critical. I had been sent away from the family watching Disney together because I cried at a sad part. I was supposed to go to my room but instead I went to the hallway where I wasn't seen but could still be attached.
For the first time in memory I am able to work in spite of the pain. Fingers crossed for this being a Rubicon.
Gaining Strength:
After all of these years there is habit, fear and anticipation all built in to the withdrawal. According to lore, it takes 40 days or 6 weeks to break a habit. I'm definitely up for it. The first thing I can finally do is make a list, (a SHORT list) of things I want to accomplish in a day. That will help keep me focused. There is so much to do. Otherwise I can get totally lost in what to do next.
Gaining Strength:
Going to start generating a schedule. Top of the list is time for visualizing my life desired.
