This is truly so lucid and so good. As i did the exercises "along with you" while reading, I was surprised to realise that the answer for me is not freedom -- which is what I thought it was, and what it used to be last year when I started doing related work -- but rest. That alone is a really useful insight. Thanks for writing and posting.
I also had avoidant parents growing up and rejected my own emotions as a result. The journey hasn’t been easy to uncovering them and feeling them but it has been worthwhile. I feel supported knowing there are others out there like me who have been successful in this journey as I am just getting started.

Thanks so much R, glad it landed for you and so stoked on that insight, that feels powerful!

wishing you all the best in your journey 🤍 it's hard work to uncover those feelings but so worth it in the end
