This is amazing and quite liberating. I think that most of the symptoms I experience are rooted in fear.  It was my abusers who instilled that fear in me. I should feel no shame for feeling the feelings that I feel.

I hope by shining a light into to dark places within me will drive out the negative energy and feelings.

Hi Snookiebookie,
Thanks for sharing this - I watched it, and it really resonated as a good way to describe perfectionism.  I related to it a lot, and part of me responded in an emotional way - it's thought provoking for me.

I am also trying to 'feel my feelings' and get in touch with them. 

Your link worked perfectly by the way. 

Hope

Short but sweet and healing message

Perfectionism is the lie that says there's a rent you have to pay to be on this earth... But it's not true. You don't have to be perfect to be here - or even good. You're allowed to just be.
