This is a great piece NJada. It sounds like you are working on yourself in a very deep and serious way. I really resonated with your description of feeling so ashamed of your anger that you were only able to express it in a 'feminised' way, even in your own, private inner space. I'm glad that you are learning to connect with that anger and channel it productively.
NJada, I am very grateful for your article. As you know there is a great reluctance on the part of therapists to explore the issues around GD. Some think it is actually unethical while others are afraid of getting sued. Most have just accepted the profession’s official line, which amounts to professional misconduct. It is very important for the public and mental health professionals to hear and understand what struggling with GD is like.
Thanks for your honesty and vulnerability, Njada. It would be so much easier to hide behind an identity group orthodoxy. Please check out my writing and share with friends and followers if it’s of any value. My writing helps me think too.
