Letters From The Heart, Part One.

For a while now I have been studying to become a counselor. Once I have my license I will put it into practice in my daily work as a weight consultant.

I have assignments I make people do to grow emotionally and spiritually and I call them "letters from the heart". It is a series of exercises and it involves writing letters to people who were important to you, or still are. In them, you write down all you ever wanted to tell them, but never dared, or could, and maybe never will be able to because they have left( for whatever reason)
For some, it is the only way to heal their heart..once we start sharing, we start healing.

I would like to do this here too, if there are people who would like to participate.

The first letter is a LETTER TO YOUR PARENTS, and you are to send it to me and please be very clear if you want it to be viewed by me alone, posted anonymously, or with your name and I will gather all "letters"for a week and then post them in this thread and then afterwards all members can read them and maybe talk about it, and probably find out we are not that different, no matter where we live.

Please do not post a letter by yourself, I want to read it first, you might reveal things that are too personal and regret it later. I will want to warn you if I think that might be the case.

I usually only have time to come here on Sundays, so I will do the reading and feedback and posting on those days.

This is not a contest, it is more like an emotional workshop:)

INGRID...........this is fabulous..a great idea..and I will be the first..though you know everything inside out about me haha..but this is different..

Wait for it :)

I'll give it a go.

Since I posted this on Friday, I will keep the mailbox open until next weekend and not post today what I have received sofar.

Nice idea.

Thanks, Kevin:)

This thread is made to invite people to share what they feel inside. To share is the first step in healing and as I said in the first post, it will allow you to grow emotionally and spiritually. In order to get past something you need to analyze it, undergo the emotions completely and then leave it behind. Some people just sweep all the pain under the rug, and the pain parents cause(d) upon us, is often felt deepest, because we feel they should have loved us unconditionally..and that is not always so.
