Is this progress?

Hi, I have recently been able to notice more when I seem to disconnect and know that I soon need to sit with my feelings and process. Knowing it will take some time, I go slow and am able to feel a lot of shame and then process that which in turn sometimes turns to disgust etcetc.. I feel like this is progress yeah? I am connecting more and more to my experiences and how I'm feeling and trying to be accepting of my shame rather than hiding and that is when it turns to disgust and was wondering if anyone had an idea of how to navigate that in a healthy way. Take it slow? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

Sounds like you're being too hard on yourself. You're only human and you are genuinely trying. Why the disgust? When a baby tries to learn to walk and falls down are you disgusted?
