Quote by Luigina Sgarro

“As a psychologist, I often hear from people with different backgrounds than mine: 'You know, I'm a bit of a psychologist myself'. I now invariably reply: "When I get home, I turn on the light: I'm a bit of an electrician myself...".”

“RED FLAGS: If you know that your partner has a volatile personality, such as displaying excessive jealousy, outbursts, frequent lying, and inability to self-regulate, then you will have a greater understanding of how they may react. The end of a relationship may have dug up raw emotions for your partner. They may feel unsure of how to make sense of these emotions or they may be totally out of touch with their emotions altogether. Either way, it is important that you are safe in your approach to your ex-partner.”

“Stop being hard on yourself, because you want people to think you are a good person and you end up avoiding doing things that matters in your life. Stop suffering from good girl or boy syndrome. Stop seeking validation when you know what is best for you. Don’t be afraid to experience because you are afraid you will make mistakes. If you make mistakes learned from them. Just live your life and be yourself.”

“All the Black people in our neighborhood were transplants from the South, and so they had inherited a kind of slave mentality, which was based on fear. When you hear stereotypes about Black people who can't swim or are afraid of dogs, it's because for so many generations, they were afraid of swimming across bodies of water to flee, or afraid of dogs because they were scared of being chased. Those fears are epigenetic - they burrow deep into the subconscious, creating an internal paradigm of rules that you forget can be broken. Systemic oppression created walls that can feel impossible to scale, but so, too, does the inherited belief that you are victim. People hold on to that victim mentality so fiercely; it becomes a defining feature of their identity. Nobody's going to take that away from them. It runs too deeply to take out and examine under the light.”
