You're Not Alone

I was so deluded with my own behaviour that I normalised it.

At the time I was in a fog, I had no idea how I came to be doing what I was doing. I'm realising now what the issues are. There's value in sharing with others who are in a similar situation. It was like waking up and realising you've done something that you never imagined you'd do.

They made me realise I used a huge amount of power both directly and indirectly to get what I wanted. Doing the programme made me recognise the strengths and weaknesses of my personality. I'm more outspoken and controlling and not as accepting as I thought.

I'm trying to reconcile what I've done with my view of myself and my own standards of behaviour. I have to connect the dots and make sense of what I did. Now I remember the point where I made a conscious decision to set aside what was true and right in order to do what I did.

I'm still trying to sort out what I did wrong. I know now that I was blaming everyone else but myself. I wasn't thinking the right things. The programme has helped me with straightening up my mind.

The really effective thing that SAFE's done for me is to reflect on what I've done. They got me to change the words I used. That's helped me in changing the way I think.

I learned that I needed to acknowledge that I chose to do what I did. I can't blame anyone else about that. I chose to do what I did and that has consequences for others.
