So by the advise of my counselor, it's okay to block toxic people from contact with me. So I have done just that. Doesn't mean it will last forever... I don't know. Later down the road, the issue will be re-visited. I just know right now that if you can't be a positive in my life, then you cannot be included in my life.
Another thing we talked about is speaking my mind. I have caved in to my daughter and my husband's wishes, people that I love dearly, to stop speaking my mind about the abuse I got from my father and my mother. I don't have to do that anymore. She said that I am allowed to speak my mind and get things out anyway I wish. If people don't like it? Too bad. They can stop reading my post, unfriend me, stop calling me, etc. I'm following the advice of my counselor. You don't agree with my counselor's advice? Then send me a message and I will gladly send you her name and her phone number. She gave me full permission to do so.
Because I was taught for so long to not have a voice about anything, I've always caved in to people's wishes to never speak about anything or anyone that hurt me. NO MORE. Thank you Lord for giving me my Trauma Counselor for she is helping me understand so much. She is teaching me how to stand up for myself in order to help better promote healing.
So today's session helped me so much. Thank you Lord for giving me my counselor.
