Before my healing journey and when my ocpd perfectionism was at its complete worst, I'd have moments for (lack of knowing what to correctly call), like ptsd moments, that were surging moments of immense hurt whenever I'd recall/revisit some things im not proud of ever saying aloud to another human or myself (in my innerworld). This would make my mind quickly jump or seek something else to avoid such searing pain of regret and shame. Not till my recent healing journey (im very much still navigating)- have i finally been able to return to these memories safe from pain to simply visit & understand the vulnerability that was touched in that moment so I can give myself a peace offering, the gift of grace, without discrediting once perceived "bad" qualities like always speaking my mind openly and honestly, often without filter 🫠 🥰
