I have struggled with depression and anxiety for as long as I can remember. I have longed to be loved, but always doubted the authenticity and security of love when it was offered. I married a partner who was himself damaged, and could not love me nor treat me with the respect and caring that I longed for. I feared intimacy with him because I felt helpless and powerless in the face of it. I was chronically depressed.
Working with a bioenergetic therapist, I was able to open myself to the early wounds to my heart and my sense of being, I was able to mourn the damage and loss that these wounds caused me, to energize my body and spirit, and begin a path to healing.
