Why are we so hard on ourselves? Often, its because we're trying to stay safe.
If we tell ourselves that we always have to do everything right, maybe we can avoid failure. If we call ourselves lazy, maybe we'll push harder.
Our inner critic can be a part of us we hate, fear or desperately wish we could change. Healing doesn't come from silencing that voice, but from listening to it differently—understanding how it is trying to help us and learning to work with it instead of against it. https://ruthweinberg.com/

“Whether we admit it or not, we all want to change something fundamental about ourselves. Most likely though, being human, our first effort may be targeted at changing whoever is in our line of sight. We look for ways to get others to change—be they our spouses, employers, children or parents-- and search out ways to cajole or coerce them to get with the program. With a modicum of insight, however we will probably recognize that deep change must occur first within ourselves.” --Peter A. Levine, PHD, In an Unspoken Voice https://ruthweinberg.com/

“When we release the old, incomplete stress responses, we make space for new movement where we once felt stuck. And when you find the stuckness, simply grant it kind, patient, gentle attention. The stuckness will change in the warmth of your attention; it will melt like snow under the sun. Let it. Emotions are physiological cascades that want to complete their cycles, and they will complete those cycles when you allow them to; they want to be travelers, not residents. They want to move on. Let them. You may tremble or shake or cry or curl up in a ball. You may notice your body doing these things without your volition. Your body knows what to do and it will do it as long as you sit calmly with it, as you would sit calmly beside a sick or grieving child.” - Emily Nagoski, Come as You Are https://ruthweinberg.com/

“Being a parent makes you feel like a blanket that's always too small. No matter how hard you try to cover everyone, there's always someone who's freezing”. --Fredrik Backman, Beartown

Sometimes as parents, we feel helpless, frustrated, exhausted, at a loss or heartbroken. We might put pressure on ourselves to know the answers, do things a certain way, stay calm and collected at all times or maybe we get so used to putting our kids first that we forget how to take care of ourselves. We can feel isolated if our challenges seem unique or suffocated by the advice of others. We may stay silent because shame and the fear of judgment keeps us from opening up. It can be difficult to find support. https://ruthweinberg.com/

“It takes as long as it takes”.

John McPhee said this about the writing process. It can also be said about a healing, growth, grief or therapy process. Often we find that things take longer than we want them to. We may feel unable to let something go and be angry or upset for longer than we expect, experience lingering emotional growing pains for longer than we would have thought or continue to deeply grieve someone we've lost for years, even decades after we've said goodbye. We cannot demand patience of ourselves but we can remind ourselves that things often take longer than we might hope or expect. https://ruthweinberg.com/
