Healing The Emotional Self Quotes

“When we keep our stories locked up inside of us, darkness wins. We must share what we’ve lived, what we’ve learned, and how we have become stronger through our experiences, in hopes that it helps others find their voice, too.”

“You are strong enough to overcome the situation!”

“Healing was a terrifying and painful experience and my life was as full of struggle and heartache as it had always been. Several years after I started therapy, I began to feel happy. I was stunned. I hadn't realized that the point of all this work on myself was to feel good. I thought it was just one more struggle in a long line of struggles. It took a while before I got used to the idea that my life had changed, that I felt happy, that I was actually content. Learning to tolerate feeling good is one of the nicest parts of healing.”

“When a parent interferes with a child's anger response in these heavy-handed ways [ridiculing, ignoring, isolating, goading, punishing, distracting, hitting, joking], the anger increases and is redirected at the parent: now the parent is the one who's violating the child's sense of well-being by interfering with a natural and necessary outlet of emotion. Most parents stifle this secondary outburst of anger, too, only this time with more force. [...] Instead of allowing the anger to flow through the child's system the first time it's expressed, the parent unwittingly fans the anger, then dams it up. The anger becomes trapped in the little girl's stomach, muscles, and jaw, and becomes an enduring wound.”

“Animals appear as guides and flowers uplift us with their emotionally healing high vibrational scent. The sky reveals guidance through patterned messages, and the earth blesses our feet. All needs and wants are met. Upon asking, we receive. Blessed are we to take the step. Walk with purpose upon the path.”

“Then the fight came to her chest, to her throat. She thrust her heel against the ground and stood with violence. 'Give him back! I know you're listening! Give him back to me now!' Storming out of the clearing, across the field, two fists ready, the sharpest teeth for biting. Sending all the rabbits out of sight.”

“We can ill afford to wait until we have worked through all our memories & feelings about incest before learning to rest & play. While it may seem to be a natural impulse to get to the bottom of things & purge ourselves fully, we need to regularly examine the full picture of our lives for balance along the way…Learning to rest & play is an essential part of our healing.”

“May your hope keep you joyful.”

“If the parent represses the girl's anger not just once but over and over again, a deeper injury occurs: the girl will eventually dismantle her anger response. Ultimately, it's safer for her to cut off a part of her being than to battle the person on whom her life depends.”

“Whenever you are hurt the intensity of the pain and your reaction to it depends on your personality, the stage you are in your life journey and “which you” was hurt. If the professional you was hurt - the hurt is relatively at a superficial level and can in fact sometimes translate to you improving yourself. If the adult in you was hurt it goes a little deep and often has visible retaliations such as anger, revenge, fighting. But if the child in an adult is hurt, that goes very deep, is often characterized by silence as a reaction and takes a long - long time to heal.”
