MaT.T Aug 2024 7:32am, 10 Aug 2024 9,793 posts	Quote Pin MaT.T I've decided that I need to start therapy again. I'm meeting up with my therapist tomorrow. Old habits based in life long generational trauma are damaging my everyday relationships and consumption again. My love for self is generally very low. Being in the world with all it's suffering is really difficult. I realise these habits will always be buried in my store consciousness waiting to be triggered it is why spiritual and religious practices are exactly that, lifelong practices. There will always be suffering. Currently my resilience to is low and I just know that right now I can't water my positive seeds alone. Admitting this helps in itself, asking for help, trusting others is difficult. Big love family 🙏

I know I’m doing all the wrong things (eating crap, not exercising as much, avoiding social situations). I think naming it and sharing it will help so thanks for being here.
