Therapy yesterday was a continuation of the problems I have with accepting my name Grace. My t. asked me to do a diagram of my name and what it represents.
As you see in this diagram two versions. One with lowercase letters representing little Grace and then the capitalized letters representing present Grace. I was asked to attach to my name on both feelings I feel/felt that go along with it. Naturally it was easier attaching the negative feelings to the little one than the positive ones to the adult.
In looking at these offshoots about myself from my name, especially the little one, gives a more clearer perspective to what I actually felt and believed all these years about myself. Not just that, it brings to light more of the trauma of the day. The lying monsters of emotional pain I still must face. Not only with my little one, but viewing and writing the offshoots of positives, is just as hard to face. Because now I am dealing with truth! Wo-
For some reason, I saw sorta' like 2 faces from your diagram...The little one, of former...The big one, the new "you" in His ' grace'....
ReplyDeleteI could see the progress from the one on top for He is faithful to complete the work He started in you. God bless sister & have a great Friday!
JBR you're moving on nicely. Good illustration with explaining your strengths and weaknesses and where to work on. God Bless.
ReplyDeleteLOVE THIS!!!! Grace, you are so inspiring. So happy that you are facing your past head on and learning the truth - what an amazing, strong individual you are. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. xx
ReplyDeleteThis was a great idea! Processing probably a bit challenging but outcome will be worth it! Thanks for sharing the journey!
ReplyDeleteI grew up with issues since my mother was an alcoholic. It is a known fact how insecure we can become. My husband has said to be a million times "your an adult now, get over it." Well seeing your chart with all the insecurities attached no one can just drop them and move forward but I am thankful that you are making such wonderful progress and finding that you are not those things. ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteDear Grace - a lovely name, yes? And it is time to celebrate your journey and how far you have come - integrated and become one. Grace - stand up and be one with yourself, it is time.
ReplyDeleteLove Gail
peace.....
Good step Grace!
ReplyDeleteI am going to pray strength into you. God's grace is Jesus Christ. Think on this for awhile my sister.
Hugs and many prayers.

This is a great healing exercise. May God continue to flood you with GRACE and love, my friend, and to heal the little Grace too.
ReplyDeleteGod bless!
I think it helps to put down on paper what is going on in your thoughts. It helps you to better understand things and also to learn to cope with what is bothering you and find and rejoice in the good. I hope you have a nice weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a really good exercise in that it allows so concretely for the past to be separated from the present. You are blessing so many by being so transparent with your process. God bless you richly!
ReplyDeleteThis is so revealing. I should do this with my name too.I suffer a lot of emotional pain too
ReplyDeleteyou are on the right path and God is with you. Hold on, the victory is ours:)
