emotional healing

I increasingly think that what it takes for me to do the emotional healing work is most of all to work with someone who I can count on to comfort me after bad stuff has come out. The balance I was lucky enough to find, which has guided my journey ever since, was ways to go into the old pain without just being retraumatized by it. I don't think that balance is easy to achieve. And it isn't easy either to find someone willing to give the needed support or to feel one deserves it.
