Thanks for picking out what I believe is the core of these matters.

That’s why I think there’s nothing more cruel than seeing little children realize how unwanted they are. They arrive, full of confidence and joy of being alive, only to realize that there’s nothing that affirms the goodness of their existence. They are resilient, but sooner or later they resign to the realization that they are not wanted.

My father felt very insecure about his existence, and he struggled with it to the very end.

It’s a hard and painful work, but it is possible to heal the broken foundation. What I described here is only a scratch — it depends on how deep the wound is, but there is a fair amount that one can do by oneself. After all, healing is also something that happens from within — doctors, therapists and other healing professionals are only aides.

The list, I compiled, though they are taken from other sources. There’s nothing ground-breaking there. I suppose role-playing may be something that’s not often discussed. I didn’t do it with this issue myself but I have used that technique on another issue I had in a co-mentoring session with a long time friend of mine. It’s very powerful, if you feel comfortable enough to really get into it.

I think these sentences are ONE of the reasons we connect so much.
“It’s futile to try to mend this by addressing those surface problems: you are treating the symptom, not the cause. To cure all your problems once and for all, you need to heal from the bottom up.”

We both work hard to try to get to the root of problems. It’s the only way to find the answers to life and in healing. You are so right that if you don’t believe you have the right to exist it will most certainly affect everything you do.

I love these suggestions. Are they original with you or did you learn them from somewhere?

I can see how that can work. Childhood is our foundation — when it is cracked, it’s hard to build a stable house on it.

Welcome to OBV!

I’m glad you came by. I think what you have to say to the world is very important. And indeed, we have some things in common — I am a survivor and witness of depression, you of addiction. We’re both trying to make the best of what we learned, as we see many others struggling.

I hope you keep in touch! I’m hoping that we can capitalize on our common grounds in some ways, to make a great impact.

Well, you are living the most powerful way to heal yourself, at least in my opinion. I’m sure it’s done wonders to how you view yourself already.
