Dear Leentje,

I see your need to be seen. You feel ashamed for it. You’ve been deprived of a lot of love, attention and acceptance. This is not your fault. You feel very afraid when others can’t see you. How awful. This is old pain. Remember the love, acceptance and attention you received last week. I am mega proud of you. You are loved. You belong. Look at me. I see you. You are important, magnificent and of value the way you are. I am thankful for you. You are welcome. You are safe. I am here. I will communicate your boundaries, emotions and needs, if necessary with the help of others. You got this. I believe in you.

Much love,

Loreen
