My philosophy:
“I believe our behavior never started out wanting to hurt or kill us: it was an adaptation which over time became maladaptive. Through active listening I strive to meet people wherever they are on their journeys, offering support as they reconnect with their authentic selves.”
“‘Ask: Why the pain?’”
― Dr. Gabor Maté
“Your environment wasn't supportive, wasn't loving, did not respond to you ... The fundamental thing that happened, and the greatest calamity, is not that there was no love or support. The greater calamity, which is caused by the first calamity, is that you lost the connection to your essence. That is much more important than whether your mother or father loved you or not.”
― A.H. Almaas
