living with a battered self esteem (session3)

Post by Vluppi123 » Fri Mar 17, 2023 11:56 am

Since i was little ive always felt alittle empty inside, like i wasnt lovable or important. I wouldnt say much neither when in social situations nor to myself, didnt feel like my opinion mattered much. it was hard, i felt like i was drifting in life. My parents werent really there for me, had problems with in-family foster services. Just last night i thought of this, and seemed like i wanted to cry. But i didnt. At this point im considerably numb. Some say a lil cwazed. At this point ive heard it all. Im 35/ what seems to be a nightmare is just a memory now. Hope i learned from it, wish i handled it diferently too ,but these are the cards we are dealt. What i come to learn from this weeks program is that we choose to create our happiness. Just dwelling on the negatives surely is addictive, but i would rather choose happiness. That means i have to learn more in countering negative feelings. This session is really not that easy, I meaning the concept is simple, but to put the effort in changing on how we talk to ourselves isnt. I think it something that should be re evalutated each week. Think this program does that, which is another plus, plus :)

I like asking the question: What makes me valuable or what gives me value? If that is hard to answer then you can ask: What makes other people valuable? I think this is very related to expectations as well. This is that feeling part of healing and takes us to the deeper waters of our identity.
