Parts of this felt like you were describing me, because it is so spot on with the shame experience I've had after growing up in a very controlling home, with parents that used religion to exact unquestioning obedience and to shame me any time I stepped out of line.

I am writing more about that experience now, trying to unravel lies from truth. Looking forward to reading more of your work!

The deprogramming/de-conditioning/de-assimilating/lie unraveling work is important work! I hope you find helpful pieces to support your liberation!

Tis why they call me Freeq. I tend to say the stuff that others are also thinking.

Thanks again.

Thank you. I appreciate your work and how you show not only the ways to spot it but also ways to deal with it heathily. And with the self-care tips and supportive inner dialogue comes the comforting (?) feeling that I’m not alone.

I ? because it seems shameful to feel comfort knowing there are many others in the same boat.

Ah the inner bully strikes again, eh?

The inner bully will trying wiggle in through any opening caused by shame and doubt. Feeling shame about shame is a tough one to resist! I appreciate your comment on a topic that many shy away from talking about. Thank you Freeq O'Nature!
