Most mistake we make are because we didn’t know..but it does...

I think self compassion is really important here. Understanding that mistakes are part of life, they are inevitable, and they are all part of the learning process. That we cannot aim for a life that's free of mistakes, because that's just not realistic, it's also not sustainable for us to try to keep up with. Self compassion and radical acceptance (two really awesome concepts that complement ERP really well) can help with this <3

*Trigger Warning: Work, Mistake, Harm, Real Event* Afraid to post this… One of the worst theme I've ever had is the fact that I made a mistake at work many years ago and will not be able to find out if anyone was harmed. My brain takes the worst-case scenario as reality (which is so painful), and researching has only led to more panic. I have been thinking about this incident for about a year now and am filled with fear and guilt. Is there anyone here with similar experiences or tips that could help? I would be grateful for any response...

Is it possible

Is it possible to have been living your life well and enjoying your days but have been physically hurting people without knowing? Like you are always aware of your actions right? I have this terrible feeling that I hurt one of my students and went through an entire week either blacking it out or not realizing. But it’s something I feel like you should realize. A disturbing dream seems to have triggered this.
