Understanding I’m Not Responsible for Another's Feelings

would feel relief to hear her acknowledge that she is responsible for her feelings, and not you. In terms of getting her to understand the concept of responsibility, I am worried that if your intention was to "get her to understand," that things would not go well from that point.

My body shakes and my breathing quickens as I begin to cry. I call out for help and something about this simple act opens up a deeper...
Core Beliefs and Gratitude Exercise

I imagine being in touch with my own beauty and trusting that it is seen by others, I feel relaxed and grateful. There’s a sense of joy in seeing my own worth.
