Practicing Compassion for Ourselves

GUEST POST FOR THE GLORIOUS TABLE

Posted on February 17, 2022 by Jenn Zatopek

With tears streaming down her face, my client said, “I don’t know if I’ll ever be free of this way of being, of feeling like no one cares about me.” I sat still as she shared her despair, listening with compassion and deep faith. She talked about how, as she was growing up, her parents were not fully present with her, how their way of showing affection was through invalidation and a steady stream of criticism. She carried their voices within, and the inner critic drowned out the voice of love that lives within all of us.

Her story was one with which I was all too familiar. . .

I’d love it if you clicked here to read the rest over at The Glorious Table.
