“True belonging doesn’t require you to change who you are; it requires you to be who you are.”

 

In my words

I see in myself and through the work I do, one of the hardest things for us humans, who learn to please others from day 1 in order to survive, is to be fully ourselves. OUr true colours may be “too much”, “not enough” for others and we will protect ourselves from rejection fiercely by only showing up as others can handle us… expect us to. Often we end up doing and being things to “fit in” … making ourselves way smaller than we are … Finding a way to belong to ourselves and hence master the ability to foster relationships that grow and nurture us is one of the hardest things some of us learn, and the most rewarding. Not accepting the naysayers’ comments about who we should be is courage in action. This book is a first step in the direction of integrating all aspects of ourselves in order to live our full lives..
