YOU did that!
YOU accomplished the thing
(however imperfectly - remember, "It doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful")
YOU made that decision
(even if you waffled back and forth and were uncertain and fearful)
YOU stood up for yourself
And Said "No More"
(or at least not this time)
YOU took one step in a new direction
(and then maybe a few steps backward too)
BE PROUD
of what YOU have accomplished
(practice makes progress, little by little)
GIVE YOURSELF CREDIT
for doing the
HARD WORK
of changing your life
(even when it's simply walking the steps instead of taking the elevator)
Of course, you had help along the way but
NO ONE RESCUED YOU
YOU changed your life
YOU changed your thoughts and behaviors
YOU chose therapy for support while navigating
all the hard things that were out of your control
YOU are doing Great!!
And I am PROUD of you!
