Hi Mada,
Just to let you know that It has been four weeks since our appointment and I’m feeling completely different. It’s amazing, really. For the first time in many, many years, I feel that I can enjoy life. At least a little :). I was so stuck. I’ve already done some of the homework you suggested and talked with my parents. Above all I feel now that the life is mine to enjoy. I sent an e-mail to that man we’ve talked about and even though he’s not available to love me, I felt a huge weight released from my body. I’m still in love with him (at least the way I am now capable of) and I understand it now because most of the fear has gone and I still smile just by thinking of him. The acne problem still exists but it’s getting better. My relationships improved dramatically and I feel this new sense of daring within me.
Mada, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I now understand your first impression: How could I have lived with all this fear for so long? Well, that doesn’t matter. A new way of living begins now and I’m deeply committed to transcend the pain and the suffering that are still in me. I will now begin to look for a job. Thank you for everything.
With love,
I. S.G. (from Portugal)
