I planned to blog about letter writing this week. I wanted to share some of the techniques I use to lift myself out of an emotional depression. Letter writing is a valuable alternative healing technique when I need a little relationship therapy or anger therapy and it is still two weeks before my next appointment with my therapist.
And then a completely unexpected event happened. It compelled me to return to my trusted old friend for dealing with grief and find some emotional healing.
I recently sent this letter to a new suitor. I entered into this relationship against my better judgment. Turns out, my instinct was right.
I found myself reverting to old patterns and allowing him to breach each emotional boundary I had established. I am ashamed to admit it but my emotional autonomy was being eroded and many of my emotional dependency issues began to arise.
I began to recognize some familiar head games and could see the mental abuse going on. My A$$ was getting handed to me and I felt like I was spiraling into an emotional depression. I felt like retreating. I knew I had to do something to salvage all the good work I had done over the past 6 months. I resolved to quietly end things on my terms.
