Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isnโt you - all of the expectations, all of the beliefs - and becoming who you are.
Rachel Naomi RemenBeing safe is about being seen and heard and allowed to be who you are and to speak your truth.
Rachel Naomi RemenI have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the tissues, until I realized that passing a person a tissue may be just another way to shut them down, to take them out of their experience of sadness and grief. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there with them.
