Hi! First, congratulations for taking the first step in your healing journey. I know it can be overwhelming to trust others with our pain specially when you have learned to survive on your own. How wonderful it would be to lift that weight off your shoulders and finally feel at ease. I am a trained clinical social worker who specializes in complex trauma. Sometimes we may use substances to numb our emotional pain, we may lash out at those we love, we may parent in a way we always said we wouldn't. Healing will be draining, hard and exhausting but if you go through it, you will see the light in you that refused to surrender.

Emotional pain goes by various labels--anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, unrewarding relationships, addiction, etc--but it has common pathways. Otherwise there would be no treatment for it. No one wants to feel pain. It hurts, by definition. But can you use your emotional pain to motivate yourself to address the the issues that cause it in the first place? Can you learn to reflect, understand, and respond versus react to your pain and flee from it? It takes time, but re-training your thinking and behavior can yield valuable benefits if you're willing to invest in yourself.
