Owning my Story
I was listening to Brene Brown talk to Lewis Howes this week and his last question to her, was 'what is greatness'. She paused for a while (those who know her podcasts will know she's dubbed the pause-cast) and then said "owning your story and loving yourself through the process" These past few weeks I have unexpectedly been discovering my story - things I had long buried and hidden from view have found their way to the surface. Partly because I have found a safe space to talk about them. It's taken a life time but unexpectedly the Better Help therapy website which I joined after finishing my face to face therapy, for a little bit of extra support as I emerged has turned into giving me access to one of the best therapists I've ever had, if not the best. She is kind, caring, firm and open to listening and giving me prompts to make change. And I trust her, implicitly. It helps that she's behind a screen and not in the same room, but that room to breathe...
