I want to tweak that a tiny bit. So love the parts of your body that are hurting and also love the part of you that hates it. The part of you that hates the pain, that hates the restriction. Say, I get it. I'm here. I hear you. Tell me everything. And just allow yourself to – I poured it all out in journals when my hands worked, which wasn't always –

Yeah, and you don't even have to use words. You could draw pictures. You could use music, play songs that help convey your emotions. It's almost as if getting the experience of all the difficulty of human life into a state where it can be communicated is Mm-hmm. Unless we're in a lot of suffering, most of us never even think of doing it. So I'm really grateful for that horrible experience.

The first one is I'm not good enough. There's something wrong with me. I'm not enough. I'm too much. It's about the quality of the being you essentially are, being maladapted to the world and unacceptable. That is universal. And I think it's because we're born with really, really active brains.

If we're cared for by people who are really tuned into our needs, that is great for us. And we develop brains that trust the world. But the moment... The person we are inside starts to run into contradiction or social pressure. For example, they don't like it when I cry all the time. When we get that socialized pressure, we instantly sell out our true nature and do what people want us to do.
