[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Self-awareness is a great first start to healing this part of yourself. That, along with therapy and EMDR, helped me deal with painful memories that led to my thoughts of unworthiness. It sounds basic, but it also helped me to recognize I had preferences, take stock of them, and share them with others as necessary vs going with the flow all the time. Ultimately I had to learn to prioritize myself which helped me see how much a disservice I was doing to myself by putting others' first. Being vulnerable about this and talking to family and friends you trust may help you on this journey but it always starts within. Sounds like you're on your way.l[/quote]

Thank you for this. Therapy has definitely helped me get this far, though I don't have a therapist at the moment (working on it). Can you tell me more about EMDR? Did you work with a therapist or do this on your own, and how do you practice it? I've see it recommended elsewhere and know what it is, but don't really know what the process is. I am looking into therapists that might use it, but it's been tough finding a therapist right now anyway (needs to be covered by insurance and I don't want to go the app route again because I think I need something more traditional now), so I don't want to limit myself too much.

Thanks for your kind words.[/quote]
