At the first session my life partner and I had with a therapist six years ago, trying to deal with issues that were largely caused by one of those DQs, I said, “The first step in treating snakebite is to get the damned snake off your leg.”
I still stand by that. There is NO way to heal until the predator is out of your life. When you no longer think about looking at its journal or otherwise do anything to keep up with it, you’re really on your way.
