"It’s a psychological fact that we treat ourselves the way we were treated as children."
Every once in a while, I read or hear something that shifts the way I view myself, my family, the work that I do, and even the world.
Today was one of those days.
I don't know if any of you have ever felt like you are trapped in a certain space.
Limited to a certain role.
Limited to a certain role.
I feel that way often with my family.
I had always thought it was THEM keeping me here.
Today, I realized that; more than any other person, it's ME keeping me here.
Amazing.
Thanks for being my therapist, Eri.

It's a little long, but it changed how I view my family relationships.
Tell me what you think if you get a chance to read it!!!
