Dear Leentje,
I see you. You feel distraught, confused, unloved, anxious, lonely, jealous, disgusted, frustrated and powerless. How nauseating, annoying and tiring. This is old pain. You are safe. You don’t have to be perfect. Open up: look for and focus on proof that people are trustworthy. You are accepted. I will communicate your needs, emotions and boundaries, if necessary with the help of others. We cannot control how people respond. How they respond is not your fault. You don’t deserve punishment. Believe: you can handle whatever comes your way. You got this. I believe in you. Receive acceptance, attention and love. You belong. You are loved. You are of value the way you are. Connect. Stay. Let me comfort you. Hold this pillow. Tell me what behaviour makes you feel unloved and why it does. I hear you.
Much love,
Loreen
