Yeah you're right. It is a balance. I realized after posting that, I wasn't giving myself permission to allow those trapped emotions inside me. And that whole post seemed to have subtle hints of emotional invalidation which I've subjected myself to over the years. Those different parts of me need to be heard and validated to heal, otherwise I'm being pulled in different directions and constantly fighting myself. I guess the real issue has always been not providing the compassion and support to myself to heal my own problems, just constant criticism.
