?? AFFIRM ??

Dear Leentje,

I see you. You feel distraught, miserable, disgusted and ashamed. How stressful. This is old pain. You are safe. I will communicate your boundaries, needs and emotions, if necessary with the help of others. We cannot control how people respond. I respect you. You don’t deserve to be punished. Believe: you can handle whatever comes your way. You got this. You are of value the way you are. Open up: look for and focus on proof that people – including me – are trustworthy. Stay.

Much love,

Loreen
