In my earlier life I avoided participating in things if I thought I wouldn't succeed or win. The pain of not winning or not being successful was too much for me to handle. It exposed my core wounds- worthlessness and not enough. As I've matured and developed myself I've grown more comfortable being vulnerable and having a go. It's not always easy, and I have to work at keeping pride and ego at bay. Being compassionate with myself helps. #weloveselfcompassionwednesday #the_helpers_heart

I was reminded recently about some training I did that reflected on the profound impact of the ‘absence of presence’ in early life. This training became an impetus for me to examine and work on my own vulnerabilities, having finally given me a language to understand my experiences. ⠀
⠀
While painful at times, this discovery of myself has led to growth beyond measure. I’m truly grateful that my work led me to this understanding, and that my life experiences led me to my work. ⠀

Remembering that it’s not always about you is sometimes the most self compassionate thing you can do ⠀

I can’t always achieve what I hope to⠀
in my work, so I try to think about what I CAN do. Never underestimate the power of the small acts, and of simply ‘being with’.⠀

A useful guide, while remembering that this is not an expectation for people to be able to identify their triggers
