We move from the illusion of certainty, to the certainty of illusion

Growing up means leaving home and becoming a self supporting adult. I think this the hardest task any human being hast to face.

To truly be committed to a life of honesty, love and discipline, we must be willing to commit ourselves to reality.

The foundation for our self-image is grounded in the first three years of life. It comes from our major caretaker's mirroring.

Healthy shame is an emotion that teaches us about our limits. Like all emotions, shame moves us to get our basic needs met.

Since the earliest period of our life was preverbal, everything depended on emotional interaction. Without someone to reflect our emotions, we had no way of knowing who we were.

Guilt says I've done something wrong; ... shame says there is something wrong with me. Guilt says I've made a mistake; ... shame says I am a mistake. Guilt says what did was not good; ... shame says I am no good.
