it's like breath. It gets to the point where every single moment of your day, there's a part of you saying, may you be well. I'm right here. I've got you. In IFS therapy, they call this self with a capital S. And it's this part of the self that's always compassionate, always curious, always creative, always courageous. And once it starts to gently talk to you, You're out of the woods already.

Yeah, and I didn't give you what you very reasonably asked for, which is a practice. You get to the point where loving kindness becomes the way you think. But at first, I would give it...

Everyone I've ever met, if you found a really bedraggled, scared, shivering puppy or horse or whatever, and it was very afraid, and you decided to calm it, You know how.
