The biggest obstacle to me being my true self is letting go of all the things that I have had to become over the years. I know my true self is still there somewhere, but she's been suffocated and shut down for so long that she needs coaxing gently back out into the World. It'll take time.

Thank you for expressing yourself so eloquently and beautifully Karen xx

Yes that's scary. Especailly if you have other people relying on you. It's a push/pull thing. Towards Knowing what you want and don't want and moving away from your old Identity so you can work out who you want to be now.

It sounds like you have a lot of insight and know exactly what she needs. Gently, kindly, patiently coaxing back out bit by bit

What would it be like to soften the shut down and let a little breath in through the day?
