💋 AFFIRM 💋

Dear Leentje,

I see you. You feel powerless, confused, distraught, desperate, jealous, disgusted and unseen. How tiring and unfair. This is old pain. Connect: follow your breath, count your heartbeats. I will communicate your boundaries, your need for autonomy and emotions if necessary with the help of others. You are worth standing up for. We cannot control how people respond. How they respond is not your fault. You don’t deserve punishment. You don’t have to be perfect. I accept you. I respect you. I like you. I support you. I love you unconditionally. Believe: you can handle whatever comes your way. You got this. I believe in you. Open up: look for and focus on proof that people – including me – are trustworthy. Stay. You are of value the way you are. Care: see people’s emotions, needs and boundaries. You are safe.

Much love,

Loreen
