Dear Leentje,

You think it’s unfair when others disagree with your opinion. It makes you feel very ashamed and unloved. How awful and sad. This is old pain. Your opinion is of value and important, whether others agree or disagree. It doesn’t have to be perfect. You don’t deserve to be punished for it. I love you unconditionally. I will communicate your emotions, needs and boundaries, if necessary with the help of others. You are safe. You are magnificent the way you are. I am proud of you. You got this.

Much love,

Loreen
