Hi Carly!
I’m so glad this helped! Other ways I deal with guilt are very specific responses I have to situations: for example I keep trying to remind myself that the entire burden of (any) relationship does not lie with me, that I am not the person responsible for fixing every single issue that arises, that arguments are not one way streets and other people have a hand in them also. As a child I was led to believe that my parents happiness lay entirely on my shoulders and that they had no part to play in it. I applied that to friendships, relationships with teachers, other family members. So now I try to remind myself that other people are responsible for their own happiness, and to take full responsibility for another persons emotional state is more responsibility than anyone should be expected to bear. If I remember more thoughts that have helped me , I will share them also.
Love,
