This makes me so so happy! First, wow, good for you, going back to therapy to keep working through that stuff. I've heard it been said healing from deep childhood wounds is like a spiral. We don't really arrive, we just kinda circle, but it gets further and further. But healing is ours, and when we aren't restored all the way yet, he walks with us! Thank you so much for sharing your journey with me, I feel honored. I know there are so many others, like us on this path and it is so encouraging to know we aren't alone..cheering you on! 📣

I love God’s timing so much! Thank you Elisa for throwing me a lifeline. I want to underline what you said that it becomes evident to all of us…becoming and then staying an emotionally healthy person is a life-long journey. I turned 58 last December and I’m humbled to be back in therapy but this time childhood trauma is being healed. 🙌🏻 Today in church I felt hurt by some of my sisters in Christ and then I get home and read your post and yes…I’m a people pleaser that needs healing and I’m starting to understand codependency. Thank you for sharing your toolbox…it is awesome!

Oops, I replied the next day to this, but it looks like it didn't come as a reply! Reposting it here:
