My 3 Day Experience: Laura K.
My sister asked me to describe - in one word - my experience of the 3-Day....LIFE CHANGING. The best way to thank you is to share what I've been experiencing since last Sunday. I don't even know how it worked to help me get rid of my anger and bitterness towards my ex-husband. I just know it did. I check in with myself each day by thinking of things that used to trigger me....and there's still NO negative energy around it!
You don't know how wound up that anger would get me. I prayed and wished that I could just cut it out of me, like a surgical intervention. I don't know how many times I said this to family and friends, "I just want to carve this negative part out of me!". Every time I thought of how much fun it seemed like he was having, I would let the bitterness take over. I've done well in other areas of rebuilding my life in the last 2 years, with the help of my self-help books, my journaling, my ongoing counselling, my meditation, my incredible support systems (you know who you are!).
I've opened up windows that weren't even there before. I've busted down doors that I thought were barricaded shut. But this anger...I just couldn't seem to shake it. I buried it. But it just keep rising up whenever it seemed like he had a 'win'. I couldn't wish him well - in my heart - with anything. That is now all gone. I feel nothing but lightness and love towards him. These feelings are so strong, that I cried the other day, when I envisioned him participating in a 3 Day.
