    • Open Family Issues

      i recently have had an opening into my emotional psyche. i'm accessing more anger than i ever thought i had towards my father... and mother. i recently ended a relationship, in a rage. i'm working with my therapist. i've opened wounded parts of me i didn't know existed. this anger is more than i've ever imagined. i will break from my destructive, mistrusting, negative, suspicious, fearful, self-sabotaging patterns. i'm scared of the hold it has on me.
