Over the Shock and GALing 6

[Thinker]

It is dredging up base childhood fears of not being good enough

Don't feed that snake. One way is to not react the way you did as a child. The other is dispute it - list all of your strengths, accomplishments and friends who love you. Most importantly tell yourself how much you have grown - intellectually, emotionally, physically and spiritually since you started this journey. You are handling it.

Thanks Coach,

The reason that I know that it is dredging up these feelings is that I sat here and analyzed why I am feeling so incredibly hurt by it - and that's what I realized.

Realizing has already helped me calm down.
