Healing self-abandonment – are you ready to take control of your healing journey and embrace self-care practices?
It is an integral part of psychotherapy to learn about energy and personal space, or at least that is my thought, especially if we have had a lifetime of self-abandonment (as explained in an earlier article on ‘one of the symptoms of C-ptsd is self-abandonment’). Your active participation is crucial in this process.
