Totally Honest

 

You're not all that weird for not wanting to tell even the people you "should" be able to be "totally honest" w/, including your spouse or your therapist, certain things. It's not about trust or love. Betrayal & abandonment traumas die hard & run deep."

                                

                                                            - Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle

Give to Yourself

 "Dear Little Self, you don't need parents to keep you safe anymore. You're all grown up, and you can give that to yourself, now. You can give yourself that which you need the most, love and validation, trust, compassion and affection."  - Mary Caballero 

No Fear

"You can sit down with that fearful child inside and be gentle with him or her. You might say something like this: “Dear little child, I am your adult self. I would like to tell you that we are no longer a baby, helpless and vulnerable. We have strong hands and strong feet; we can very well defend ourselves. So there is no reason why we have to continue to be fearful anymore.” 

                                        — Thich Nhat Hanh
