Hi SC: Thanks for coming by - no - it's not a cultural thing, my W was born in the states - she's not Latina.
You're so right about not getting out of these cycles of feelings...I do have to feel all the emotions - let them go through me...I think I meant that I just have to figure out how to emerge from them without having the roughest moments feel so destructive. That said, crying is very good too...sometimes it just feels right to let the tears rush out...even if they threaten to flood the room.
I like what you have written on your mirror...messages to oneself seem like a smart way to go.
