One of the reasons I wanted to come to this program was to understand intuitively that I am not alone.
Today was our first full day of classes and the majority of the time was going over the thoughts/stories we tell ourselves.
I was amazed how many of us have such similar viewpoints. How similar our thoughts are.
I’m also surprised to find that I’m not the angriest one. I’m not the most timid one. I’m smack dab normal for the situation I’m in.
It’s a relief to be normal, to not think of myself as crazy.

I was sure I was one of the most messed up persons in the country. Well, not quite that… I thought I was an extreme reaction to what happened; I’m not.
My reaction(s) are “normal”, and I’m meeting other women who hougjt the same as I did.
It’s quite liberating actually.
