Day 16 Have I told anyone

[justgreene]

My wife knows I am going through the program. She sees me in pain everyday and also is sad for me that I am living this way. I have not mentioned it to my co-workers as I am afraid of what they will say or how they will look at me. I mentioned it to my dad who seemed more receptive than I expected. I also mentioned it to a friend and I'm not sure of he believed what I was saying. Either way, I will continue through the course and do what I need to do. I am not going to let others judge me for my beliefs.

Hi justgreene,

I think your resolve about judgement is very important. This is also about your own self-judgement, meaning the more boundaries you can put around your TMS work, allowing it to do its thing without worry, the more quickly you'll get better.

Another aspect of this is individuation. Many of us get TMS because we try to stay in relationship with others and give up our own internal compass. Strengthening your inner compass is an important part of getting better.
