You’ve worked so hard to move beyond the pain of your past. Trying to be the best mother, wife, and friend you can be doesn’t allow much extra time to deal with old wounds. So you ignore them, push them down, and hope they’ll go away. But lately, you can feel the cracks starting to show. You’re impatient and irritable with your family. At work, you can’t concentrate and find yourself second-guessing every decision. You’ve become trapped in a cycle of shame and fear that feels impossible to break free from. You want to make a change, but you know it will require delving into a past you’re terrified to face. It feels so hopeless.
