I *do* get it.
I think I remember once reading one opinion that this is at the core of many therapies. I think it's a good thing to reach that core, although I know it doesn't *feel* good.
I also remember that point in many "Touched by an Angel" episodes where the angel says "God loves you" and the reaction that received. I wonder if that core applies to more than just therapy. And I wonder if spirituality of some sort can be part of the answer.
In theory those eight scary words could be the opening for some of the most healing insights of therapy. That ugly or pretty, fat or thin, touched by the ugliness the world can bring or not, you are fundamentally love-able.
I understand how hard it is to be that vulnerable, and I'll send a lot of good therapy thoughts and wishes your way.
