Starting over

[liberal_at_heart]

4. There's nothing wrong with therapy. In fact therapy and meditation can go hand in hand.

I knew I was angry at my father, but didn't really know just how angry and really just plain hurt I was until I started talking to a therapist. I use meditation to forgive and let go of the anger and pain I have felt toward my father. I do agree that starting over is important. Forgiving and letting go of past pain is a good way to do that. My father was abused and therefore couldn't give me all the things I needed. I like to visualize that he has everything he needs in order to give me what I need such as love, acceptance, approval, and belief in my abilities. Then I can give myself those things as well. Something that both therapy and meditation have taught me is that visualization is a powerful tool.
