bury the past
My therapist suggested that i bury something from my former workplace to help me in the letting go process. After a couple of days i have found the perfect thing - a certificate that i got for 15 yrs of service with the company. I have scratched out the 15 and put in it's place 18+ and added some comments all around the certificate about my time there and how i felt about management. So it's ready - my husband is gonna help me bury it - it'll kinda be like a little ceremony. We are going to do it as soon as he can find the key to the shed and definitely do it before i start my new job on Wednesday :) My therapist was very proud of my conversation with Sarah and how honest i was with her. She says i still need to let go of the 2 of them. So i have did what she suggested - prayed for them and turned it over to God - not my problem anymore. Of course i will always care about Sarah but i can't be a part of her life right now - if ever. So since i have done this i have found that i don't think of the 2 of them as much and if i do i say to myself - it's in God's hands now...

You did such a good job with this! I also think you have an excellent therapist who gives you plenty of "homework" and tools to further your recovery. You hit the jackpot!
ReplyDeleteI have never buried anything, but do thurn things over that I just can't deal with. I actually visualize giving the "items" over and it works. Just like you said, "out of my hands".
kathy you're right i feel like i have hit the jackpot with my therapist!
