What memories really bother you?

Today we dive into the memories (stories) that really bother you. For me, the memories are ghosts of relationships past. There were a few that were really violent. At this point, it’s not so much the violence that was inflicted on me (although that was a serious problem). It’s the memories of how I was in such a bad place that I stuck around for it. While I still have some self-esteem issues (show me a person who doesn’t), back then I was willing to believe that I was less than my boyfriend (he kept telling me he was better than me, and I started to believe him). Today I know that one person isn’t inherently better than another, but back then…

Anyway…

I know this is a painful prompt. You will have to explore some things that really hurt. Remember, though, that the point of the exercise is to solidify the monsters so they quit growing and morphing into something out of control. Put them down on paper and watch their power fade. However, it is important to note that you must also have the intention to let the thing go, and to put it all out on paper (no more clinging to just a little piece, or the monster will grow again).

I am here for you – whether it’s an email (or comment) to get something out or deeper coaching. Disclaimer: I am NOT a therapist, so if you feel you need counseling to resolve past traumas, please contact someone qualified to deal with such issues.

Until next time, be well and remember that you ARE the femme fatale you dream of being!
