@charmagh6 And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
In every successful therapy, there is a period when the patient feels more lost than ever. They are relinquishing old ways of being & have not yet consolidated new ways
We are changing life patterns. There is no path from point A to point B that does not pass through the unknown

I don't know what “self love” means
Developmentally, a healthy sense of self is formed via relationships, as we internalize relational experiences of care and attunement. Real change in self-experience requires a real relationship
“Self love” in a vacuum is narcissism
