Without the incest, I would be someone else totally. <br /><br />I like and love who I am today. That doesn't mean I would choose to do the same things and have the same experiences today.

My mind tends to be pretty concrete,so maybe thats why I see the metaphor as if it is really happening. To me it feels real.<br /><br />I think what I'm doing is redefining what it means to "let it go." That's something that has been helpful to me with other words and phrases.

You have some beautiful quotes. <br /><br />I am sure that your blog will help others who are healing from abuse. Reading just this one post helped me to solve a worriment I am having at work. Not letting it go is giving someone power over me.

It's so true, when we're little, we can't handle and process all the abuse. But now, you are ready to open the bags and see what's inside. Carefully, gently sorting through, finding out who you are in the process.<br /><br />My personal analogy is packing and unpacking boxes, perhaps because I've moved so many times inBeth Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00542682312158353844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6944698796767874000.post-68929605452490573152010-02-14T18:06:11.942-06:002010-02-14T18:06:11.942-06:00Thank you for commenting on my post and I too will...Thank you for commenting on my post and I too will be back to your blog!

My healing work consisted of hanging on, embracing my truths, surrendering to all my experiences. I tried to escape for year, and I, like so many, went to great lengths to separate myself from myself, when, all the time my freedom was in facing my self, my truths Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11337675996256691215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6944698796767874000.post-33575253308678194402010-02-14T17:32:19.633-06:002010-02-14T17:32:19.633-06:00What an insightful post.
