Thanks for your encouragement Ms. Lott.
But even after getting lots of insights, (both by working on it myself, and getting input from my therapist, and your book, and support of extremely good babblers here), I am still not able to recover from the pain.
And I even understand it is not really about my psychiatrist and that it is about my dad (I was abused by my dad in several ways - sexually, emotionally etc), and I find it impossible to recover from the longing and pain for some approval, and symbolically correcting the issues I had with my dad.
I understood from your book that you had learnt the things that you learnt first hand - by going through the pain yourself and recovering (and that is the best way of learning). Were you able to turn all your intellectual understanding to emotional healing for yourself? Is that possible Ms. Lott?

> You are so very amazing!!! Your comments show that you have all the wisdom you would ever need to help yourself and your allies on this website. Just trust yourself. I love your words about giving yourself approval everytime you long for it to come from someone you've given away your power to -- we all need to remember that. Bravo!!!!
