Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • Even when I’ve grudgingly accepted that something happened, I’m still quietly wishing it hadn’t
  • Part of why I won’t let this go is that accepting it feels like saying it was okay, like I’d be letting them off the hook
  • I spend so much energy trying to push down or get rid of what I feel, and it just comes back stronger
  • I keep trying to shove this feeling down or talk myself out of it, and the harder I fight it the worse it gets
  • I spend so much energy fighting whatever I’m feeling
