Feeling introspective today… things have been real quiet here at Casa East.
Had some intense memories come up this past weekend, which were revealed after doing some workbook exercises related to attachment theory. Basically, the exercise involved documenting feelings that were coming up and then reflecting upon when I first recall having similar feelings… mine in this case started at age 2. These revelations can be overwhelming, because not only is the memory itself traumatic — I actually feel a deep sense of loss and mourning for myself as a child.
Not sure if it is good or bad that I am revisiting forgotten memories, but I am grateful for the time to reflect. Thinking about where you have been and why you are who you are can’t be a bad thing, right?
