Day 1 Taking the Leap
Welcome, @BridgetE!

I found that the way to succeed in doing the SEP is to really listen to the negative thoughts in your brain, and to be 100% honest when doing the writing exercises.

For me, this meant hearing the little voice in my head that would say "Oh, don't write that down, that's not important, or it's too embarrassing, or we don't want to go there." Recognizing that voice, and forcing myself to write those things down anyway, was the secret to learning how to access my repressed emotions. And learning to do that is the secret to emotional freedom.
