Dear Cali Chica:

Let’s stop the exercise for today and continue it tomorrow or another day when you feel like it, post at that time and we’ll resume.

Notice this: “Do you get sad sometimes?”- “I don’t know”.

Yesterday you wrote: “I do NOT see myself as fragile”- and you don’t see yourself as sad.

Yesterday you wrote: “I have become ‘hardened’ and lack some of that softness… I don’t see myself as fragile at all- but instead, hard, harsh, angry, stern, severe”-

– already as a child, early on, from one point onward, you rejected your own soft feelings of sadness. You took on angry and rejected sad.

The young child that you were felt very sad and then… what happened?
