I had always thought that my people-pleasing tendencies were just part of my personality, but now I see how they stem from trauma. It’s comforting to understand that I’m not alone in this.

Acknowledging that grief isn’t just about losing people, but also about peeling back the layers of who you had to be to survive, offers such necessary validation. Allowing those complex, layered emotions to exist without self-judgment is where genuine self-acceptance begins.

My true healing began then after 40 years of counseling & other therapies which I sought by myself to try to mitigate & understand the terrible loneliness I experienced as a child& the crippling anxiety that was my daily life as I grew up. It is serendipitous to have found this website & be able to read about the lived experience of others which has mirrored my own. Thankyou for sharing & for the existence of this website. I have been profoundly moved to understand that I am not to blame for the chaos of my life right now, as I begin a new phase of my retirement and I truly am not alone anymore.

Thank you so much. That genuinely means a lot to me. One of the hardest things I had to accept was that healing isn’t just about feeling better, it’s also about grieving everything trauma took from you. That’s the part I think doesn’t get talked about enough.

If sharing my experience helps even one person feel a little less alone or reassures them that what they’re feeling is a normal part of recovery, then being this vulnerable is worth it. I really appreciate you taking the time to read it so thoughtfully and leave such a meaningful comment.
