It is taking a toll on my self-esteem. It is reinforcing all the fears and pain of my abandonment when younger.


FWIW, I would see a counselor about this, I did, after phase 1 and ironically, had it resolved (finally) just before phase 2's BD.

Boy, that "free of abandonment fear feeling" got trounced, but it came back. Totally worth every penny paid to the IC.

Just my 2.5 cents.
