my 3 best takes as a mental health therapist ⬇️

3) Get to know yourself. Who you are, who you aren’t, what you value. Understanding yourself leads to making decisions that honor yourself, which leads to trusting yourself. & when you trust yourself, you trust your ability to meet your own needs

1) become okay feeling your emotions. All of them, even when the feelings themselves are uncomfortable
