I’m really glad you took the time to read my story! Of course, it’s just a part of my journey but I think it does tap into many peoples’ own life stories.

Wow. A tremendous story, and journey for your family, and for you. So glad I read this. It’s all familiar to me in different ways.

That’s beautifully said! I definitely felt the need to “take care of the family” whether conscious or unconscious. I was an “analyst in the making” from a very young age! Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts, Emily.

Hi Blair! Thank you for sharing your family hx with us. What a complex heritage of resilience and attunement to danger. A common thread that I observe btwn you and your pt, is the need to suppress/deny emotions in “service” of keeping the family intact. But then as we who’ve had to suppress find, in our evolution as clinicians and/or patients, we must undo that, to feel our emotions/core affects in order to truly live. Thanks again!
