dear Matt yes, it's the same for me - by disregarding my own wishes / needs to a large extent I very obviously violated the law of Take Care Of Yourself:(, also for many years... I hope very much you can take that wall apart soon and open up your heart as you heal!!!

dear Steve I actually envy your experience, because I don't seem to dig deep enough to get to the RAGE... even for someone who's been abusing me all my life long all I seem to feel is deepest pity (as this person is very deranged)... I suppose for you it's great as you felt it and recognized...

this TMS- related book and then Dr. Mate himself (in 2 Skype sessions) saved me after a year of severe stomach problems which represented nothing else but my psychological issues... highly recommend to everyone! good luck & good healing to all

dear Jules I am so sorry about what you have to go through. hope you don't mind me saying this but to me it looks like your faith is your prison and your prison is an abyss of pain. in order to walk free you need to open your heart and open the door with the key you have in your own hand. let...

... my mom. after a very unhappy childhood full of aggression and violence, and a relationship that has been really difficult probably from the day I was born (or maybe before) I am visiting my mother for 6 days. am curious & hopeful how it will go.....

thank you very much! I comply with pretty much all of the above strategies to a certain degree and know that stress is the greatest enemy:-)
