Admitting pain humbles us to the reality of our personal histories and our present conditions. We no longer have to pretend we are something that we are not.
~ Steven Franssen
Without confidence we feel insecure. We replay the doubting voices of our parents on a loop in our own minds.
The more a child is abused, the more the child uses his abilities to anticipate, manage, prevent, dismantle, and challenge the abusing ways of his parents.
