Parts of this felt like you were describing me, because it is so spot on with the shame experience I've had after growing up in a very controlling home, with parents that used religion to exact unquestioning obedience and to shame me any time I stepped out of line.

I am writing more about that experience now, trying to unravel lies from truth. Looking forward to reading more of your work!

Tis why they call me Freeq. I tend to say the stuff that others are also thinking.

Thanks again.

Thank you. I appreciate your work and how you show not only the ways to spot it but also ways to deal with it heathily. And with the self-care tips and supportive inner dialogue comes the comforting (?) feeling that I’m not alone.

I ? because it seems shameful to feel comfort knowing there are many others in the same boat.

Ah the inner bully strikes again, eh?
