Thank you so much. Mostly, through EMDR therapy I was able to fully process and re-structure those most devastating moments. Not by pretending that I didn’t feel scared and abandoned, but by meeting myself in those low moments and seeing what I really needed. Being the adult I am now- I tended to that young scared girl, nurturing her and showing her that I am all I need. Also by exposing the truths that even as a kid before she physically left, my mother wasn’t helping me but hurting me, so I wasn’t losing the mother I thought I had. I was gaining the space to rise up and take care of myself. Thanks again.
