< My First-Ever Mental Breakdown Is A Fantastic Learning Opportunity!
It's absolutely crazy you say all that, I'm seeking therapy for a very similar purpose (learning to stop suppressing my own identity after a traumatic childhood) and I'm currently reading the artists' way. I knew my struggles weren't unique, but it's still reassuring to see someone both going through and overcoming the very same issues I am.
I meet more and more people with similar struggles... it's a great gang of people, taking responsibility for their lives, exhibiting courage and strength every day, and learning to open up to each other.
Good luck, you've got this!
(The thing I've had to come to terms with most recently is the SLOW pace of recovery—and regular regressive steps—and the inability to FORCE clarity or healing!)
