Great talk. Regarding being yourself, I have an interesting story that happened to me as a child. I recall being very young (how young I have no idea) and another little girl was doing something and getting a lot of attention and I wanted to emulate her behavior so that I too could be liked by the others. Anyways, immediately after I had that thought, it was like a deep, internal voice spoke up from within and said, "Just be yourself. God made everyone, and everyone is totally unique and lovable. If you will just be yourself, some people will love you because you are lovable." I listened to that inner voice and from that moment was always exactly who I was without any screening (I had to learn a little screening is needed in certain areas.lol) I realize now, as a therapist, I was given a beautiful gift in that moment! God bless!
