Dear Leentje,

You are safe. I am here. You are welcome. I see how distraught, unloved and powerless you feel. I also see how ashamed you still feel. You think that’s unfair. How awful and sad. It is unfair how your childhood traumas affect you. This is not your fault. You don’t have to be perfect. I love you unconditionally. I accept you. I like you. Your body is yours. I am thankful for you. You are loved. You belong. You are magnificent, important and of value the way you are. Come in my arms. Listen. You are beautiful, wonderful, awesome, great, pure, unique, lovely and special. Look at me. I am proud of you.

Much love,

Loreen
