Dear Christy:

You asked about The Healing Path, my experience. Well, there is a whole lot to it, it being on its sixth year. I will be glad to share, but it will take time. To heal my anxiety, my distress, it took and is taking a combination of insight into the past and mindfulness, that is insight into the present. Then there are skills, like tools in a tool box, you use this tool here and that tool there.

You attended therapy before. What did you learn from it? As we, adult children, are very quick to … forgive our parents (as if anger at them is a sin and needs to be resolved first), but as your brain was forming when you interacted with your then very powerful parents, insight into what happened then is very important.

Would you like to share about the origin of your anxiety, that is where in the relationship with your parent/s it originated?
