> What therapy or a therapist can give I think is a kind of love that helps you to give yourself the things that you lacked from your parents-- and I think often this isn't really love, but more things parents would have provided with love. I have a feeling that self-soothing, self-acceptance, equanimity, the ability to trust or to believe in others' good will-- and various other things like that-- are what's missing. And these things you can learn-- or come through experience and risk-taking to have a more belief in.
I like that. I think I'll try to remember it.
