Stuck in new symptom
Aww dearest Plum,

Your words melted me....

And melting revealed the hard shell I was oblivious to. Being soft doesn't make me vulnerable. Perhaps my subconscious thinks it will, so I was wrapped in this hardness. It makes sense that I made little progress. How can we hope to feel our feelings from such a place?

I think it is what Claire Weekes was teaching, strength doesn't come from strength, but from passing through to the other side of weakness. I can't protect myself by being hard, although I wasn't aware of the hardness until I felt it drain away.

I will be with this. I feel present.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your kindness, you opened up my heart, when I was so in my head.
Feeling loved,
Lizzy
