One of the therapists who helped me in an intensive outpatient treatment program has now opened two locations in Colorado. One is right in Fort Collins and is called La Luna Center. For me, group therapy was what worked, finally so that my thirties did not have to be like my twenties, at least where food was concerned.

That is super comforting to know someone who also has let go of evidence of the past!<br /><br />I'm thinking it'll be a Saturday night bonfire. I'll keep ya all updated! :)Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11418182144680359926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703231883440613355.post-44354459648369514432010-03-30T17:27:39.187-06:002010-03-30T17:27:39.187-06:00I did the same thing with my childhood journals wh...I did the same thing with my childhood journals when Bill and I were engaged. We went to a park together and burned them in the BBQ fire pit. I sobbed as I watched the pages crumple and go up in flames, mostly because I knew that I'd never remember what happened from there on out.<br /><br />And I don't.<br /><br />And I suppose I don't need to. What happened isn't really supposed to be remembered regularly so I can move on, move forward, without being stuck in the pain of the past. Life isn't supposed to haunt you on a daily basis, I guess.<br /><br />I'll be there for sure. And I'm sure I'll sob right along with you.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15663113475774880128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703231883440613355.post-10396710497159638562010-03-30T15:45:37.489-06:002010-03-30T15:45:37.489-06:00Wow Emily.

I seriously do love you all! And hell yeah, you're all invited to my bonfire! It's gotta be soon, though, because now that I've made this decision to destroy all the baggage, my home feels toxic. Maybe I'll just box it all up and keep it outside until the fire happens. :)Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11418182144680359926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703231883440613355.post-64869177105064803812010-03-30T08:41:27.050-06:002010-03-30T08:41:27.050-06:00Em, I enjoyed your piece very much.

Because you are seeking out the truth and in therapy I hope you will be around to talk to your daughter so that she will know who you are. My mom died when I was 40, but despite all the time I had with her I still feel that I never knew her and that pain I can relate to. Letting go is hard! I am proud of you for sharing this (and for posting on time!).<br />EElisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06525729633792582047noreply@blogger.com
