Enduring endings of relationships when I have an Attachment Wound/Injury
Given my attachment wound/injury, I have made it through (and am continuing to need to endure) multiple endings of therapeutic/mental health support relationships lately.
Attachment issues/wounds/injuries are no joke. For me, even preparing for that ending to happen (when I even know when it is going to happen) can be very emotionally painful...but I'm doing it. I was abandoned by my mom when I was in high school (over a decade ago) and last Saturday was the 2 year anniversary of her death. I made it through that as well.
The pain of the wound is still there but I'm being strong. I was chatting with the therapist (described below) and she explained how she and other people in my life like her are going to be (and are) part of a chain in my mental health journey. I may be paraphrasing what she said somewhat but the idea is of her and others being links in a chain.
Another ending of a therapeutic relationship is coming up tomorrow so please wish me luck if you don't mind. Thanks.
@munchiegoosie Good luck tomorrow! It's hard but you're awesome 🙂 stay strong!
