Hello @Del81. Spring cleans are good for the soul. I think from personal experience as we step more into claiming our own selves the other parts dissipate without us even noticing. You may still see the people who were holding you back in your mind ( I mean). Sometimes that's hard not too when they are directly in our circle! But as you slowly separate your energy from them, so they will move there energy elsewhere too. It's really hard I know. I hear exactly what you are saying. But travel it, be kind in yourself. One day you will feel 'lighter' from it all. Definitely seeing a psychologist can better help you understand your thoughts. I find when I am validated it helps, because elsewhere in our lives people are not doing this. It becomes pattern for others to treat us a certain way & our response in return. I think through the toughest lessons, that have really hurt, it's then I begin to move forward. We all learn in our unique way, hear, see, listen differently. But we all deserve respect to do so. I think good on you, for being brave with deciding who no longer walks the path with you. You are already on your way.❤👍
