Good for you, a very brave post…personal growth, building our self-awareness and being kind to yourself in the process is (as you’ve clearly discovered) crucial…it’s tough, scary, but ultimately the most rewarding thing we can do in life. Detaching ourselves from the emotional turbulence we feel inside and those pesky, unhealthy coping mechanisms we’ve developed with the best of intentions…to simple protect and survive. Flipping that internal narrative to living isn’t easy.

Wishing all the best for your future 🤙
