(6:59) Fourth: “I forgive myself because I witnessed adults who couldn't self-regulate so I dissociated to not feel and not connect with other people.”

“Before we are even close to ready to love someone else fully and in a healthy, secure way we must love ourselves.”
“If we were raised in a household that was chaotic where there was always someone complaining, someone blaming others, where there wasn't peace, then we have been doing the same things.”
“We can’t be hard on ourselves for old patterns. We have to forgive ourselves for them because we had no idea we were performing.”
“It's not uncommon to push down or disconnect from the negative emotions but we need to feel all the things, all the good and the bad. If we don't feel the bad it just manifests in our bodies in some other negative way, maybe a more physical way like pain so we need to ride the emotions like a wave and just let it all go.”
“We must get to the point that in order to be fully connected to ourselves we must not try to be anything other than who we truly are.”
“It's never too late to take your life back. To take responsibility for your life. Claim it and make it what you want it to be.”
