[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 666765, member: 17461"] We are, Copa. We already are. When one of us gets stuck, the other sees clearly. When one of us confesses something shaming, the other of us says, "Me, too." So individually and together, we are creating a map. Mostly, the map identifies feeling states or ways of thinking come of the shame base we were hurt into believing. How sad for all of us, and for everyone who actually does love us, that this was so. But we are coming through it so beautifully I can hardly believe it. If we are not ashamed of our shame? It disappears. Just a chimera. Just a way we learned to see; just a way some very damaged people taught us to see ourselves. Nothing more. We are so fortunate that we have been given this opportunity. Maybe, once we know we are through, we can go back, for them. Cedar But we need to affix our own oxygen masks, first. Toxic there, and that will not have changed. [/QUOTE]
