Pod Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Hey guys. I have a question about guilt and trying to decipher if it's true self or not. My guilt I experienced a while back about a certain situation that was my responsibility but hadn't hurt anyone had actually led me back into the arms of my parents. I hadn't left them yet and I was about to but the guilt put my life on hold. I had to try to right the situation as much as I could. During that time period I was crying on my mother's shoulder and seeking comfort from both my parents. In all of your opinions, if the guilt I feel leads me to seek emotional comfort from those who abused me, is the guilt necessarily all true self then?

Pod Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 @_LiveFree_ No I don't. If you feel like you've done un-restitutable wrong (which could be true self) but you're driven to derive emotional comfort from those that have done you the same (possibly worse) harm, then what is that? Why would the true self be allowing you to run towards your abusers when you were almost free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
