✊i hear you. Congratulations on getting this far! Developing greater Self awareness can be a painful process. And yes, as our capacity for emotions increase it seems our capacity for pain and joy increase at the same time. We think we leave pain behind on the healing journey but sometimes that’s not the case. Our pain and our joy increases.ad respect for you walking the path though. I’m so happy you shared. So where are you at now? How do u feel?
