Outer me, inner me
I had a feeling while sitting for the first time in front of my therapist that, I had a shining exterior (full grown tall tree with green leaves and flowers and fruits on left side) and a shabby black interior (tree whose main bark was empty because of termites and boring larvae, its canals were filled with anger, shame, guilt, embarrassment, jealousy, frustrations, lost hopes, lost opportunities, die-hard unrealistic expectations from self and others etc. on right side).
I had hard time disclosing myself as weak, vulnerable, sad, defeated person I was feeling inside.
