the author of the day three prompt really struck a chord when she said that she would have noted that her childhood was "extremely happy" but upon examination she realized that there were problems that she was still grappling with and causing her anxiety, anger, and the resulting TMS pain. I, too, prided myself on a "very happy" childhood but very very easily came up with a laundry list of events which hurt and continue to hurt. I actually flushed as i wrote the list and am not looking forward to the future prompts which will have me explore these feelings.
My nanny once told me that I was the only client she had ever worked for who wasn't in therapy. Man did that make me proud! Like I was a model of stability and health. I was also probably the only client she worked for who had had severe neck and shoulder pain daily for the last 14 years. Ha ha ha -- joke is on me!!! Rolling my eyes at my hubris.
Thank you all for your support and allowing me to have this safe space to talk about my journey and to read about yours.
