that's what we are here for. this is a great place.

yes i'm extremely happy that i formally joined gye
i used to just look for articles now i can feel the support

btw anyone with a hard past feel free to post maybe i can share what i learned from my therapists

Most of us here have had challenging pasts and would appreciate your sharing any advice you received in therapy.

the absolutely most useful thing i have learnt is a way to to conquer ALL negative feelings. Whether it is anger regret anxiety etc. 

the nature of a person when confronted with bad feelings is to run away so to speak. i used to think through all the arguments i should've told my mother. why are you bossing me around? hitting me? and i would think how unfairly she treated me all due to my pent up anger

the better way to deal with this is what is called CBT or cognitive behavioral therapy which i can't adequately describe you should really see a professional for more help but basically it is that instead of dealing with your emotions you tell yourself i can handle the pain and you allow the pain of the anger to just sit still sort of and focus on it

let me know i this helped

maybe i'll elaborate in a later post

Do you know of any members that succeeded with Taphsicing for rough days?

Youre looking for someone to take you on. That's more likely to get you somewhere in life I think, as it has for me BH
