I just got done with a great session with my T. He suggested that I try giving back the shame of my inner child back to the perp. I yelled "Take it back, you fucker!" three times, the last time at pretty near the top of my lungs. I don't think I've ever yelled like that before.

I've seen several posts by members mentioning that they gave the shame they experienced to the perp where it belongs, but didn't relate until today. It feels like such an important step for me. Now I can have a much better relationship with my inner child, since he doesn't have to carry around shame any more.

Thanks to all of you have been such an inspiration to me through this. This started out as a crappy day, but turned into a really great one!
 
AuthenticMe - Breakthroughs are G-RRRR-E-A-T (in Tony the Tiger loudness!). May this breakthrough, the bursting illumination of it's light and feelings of release increase as you experience those breakthroughs! Happy for you and expecting many more!!

Howard :D
 
AuthenticMe,

I've got tears reading this. So happy for you and thanks for sharing. We've carried that crap long enough. Back it goes!

Warm regards,

AuthenticMe,

That is so cool!!!!! Enjoy! And file this one away for the days when things look so bad. Recovery is soooooo much wrapped up in attitudes, I think, and it is good to be able to savor these great moments later when we need them - like socking money away in the bank, except with this one you can have your cake and eat it too.

Take care,
Larry
 
Thank you all for your warm posts of support. It was a really great feeling and a very important step for me. Although there may be rough times ahead, I feel a better relationship with my inner child. We are on the same page now.
 
Congratulations!!! And next time you see your therapist, please tell him 'Thank you' from me.

I was thinking about this recently, due to one or another posts in here, about why we carry the shame and guilt for so long, knowing on an intellectual level that neither belongs to us. I concluded that it is because no one will take it from us and relieve us of the burden. So this step you've taken is brilliant in the sense that we might not need to have someone take it from us, rather, we can give it back.

So, to all you monsters out there, I say " TAKE IT BACK YOU FUCKERS!!!!! Can I hear an Amen?? - John
 
Breakthroughs are indeed wonderful. I'm glad that you were open to it and allowed it to happen.

Wishing you the best,
Scotty
