In a recent EMDR session we processed a moment that I have gone over many times.

I felt where the hurt lay in my body. Deep in my root.

I reparented.

I told my therapist I felt an ease in breathing in my upper chest an area that is historically locked and weighted.

the release allowed my to feel pride.

I felt the feeling of being proud.

Proud of who I am.

A missing ingredient.

I am proud.
