This is true, but, what we are able to create is very dependent on our lived experience and our identity. So, I am always encouraging self compassion with my clients.

"The environment we create will determine what prevails. In other words, what we nurture and encourage wins." –Jane Goodall

You want to interact confidently, react calmly, build relationships, and work productivity, but lately, it has just seemed impossible. Unhealed trauma can interfere with your ability to do all of these. Invest in your future by getting the therapeutic support you need to be your best self. Working with a compassionate therapist, you can tap into your vast reserve of resilience to heal, which, over time, will benefit all aspects of your life.

Some days it is easier to feel this way than others. However, we start by looking for the goodness, even tiny glimmers of it!

"We are so brief. A one-day dandelion. A seedpod skittering across the ice. We are a feather falling from the wing of a bird. I don’t know why it is given to us to be so mortal and to feel so much. It is a cruel trick, and glorious." -Louise Erdrich

"When you go deeply into the present, gratitude arises spontaneously, even if it’s just gratitude for breathing, gratitude for the aliveness that you feel in your body." -Eckhart Tolle

You cannot save anyone. You can be present with them, offer your groundedness, your sanity, your peace. You can even share your path with them, offer your perspective. But you cannot take away their pain. You cannot walk their path for them. You cannot give answers that are right for them, or even answers they can digest right now. They will have to find their own answers. ~Jeff Foster
