When going through the new versions of the clearing SEEs pdfs that you sent me, I liked the fact that you talked about how the event can be something that someone else may not think is emotionally traumatic but that it can still have been meaningful and hard for you, especially as a child. I think that some of what I’ve been hung up on is that I feel like my experiences have not been that bad compared to some other folk’s experiences, and so then I feel a little embarrassed that have an anxiety disorder that has been triggered by these events and feelings. I realize that it plays into the vicious cycle when I feel ashamed that I feel ashamed about certain experiences in my life, so hopefully I can get on to the path of greater acceptance of my own feelings. Sorry- kind of rambling…
