    unwanted insight?
    client · 01/21/03 at 6:30 PM ET

    Hi,

    I have another question...

    I came away from a recent session and had two "insights" materialize within 24 hrs. 1) I was and am blameless 2) A sense of outrage at the perpetrators and acts of the trauma.

    I am sure this sounds lovely, from a clinical standpoint. It feels awful. My entire identity is built around a sense of self blame, I feel untethered, anchorless, very very weird... for lack of a better term...

    Can insight be premature?

    Oh, I tried thinking of this as an avoidance of feeling good thing... no dice... I just lost my identity, that feels rotten, no matter how I frame it.
