#healing the mind is important work for every practitioner imo

In therapy today I uncovered more people pleasing behavior. It explains why some people meet me and instantly vilify me or find me to be fake. They pick up on the manipulation and interpret it to be malicious. And although it comes from the complex trauma from the DV and abuse it is a behavior I picked up to attempt to docile others so they won't hurt me it is still a manipulation. And manipulation no matter the reason is still wrong.

It's important to be honest with yourself.

Doing the deep work is the most difficult yet most rewarding thing you could possibly do.
