I will say these words over and over again:
The only thing that melts shame and fear is love and compassion
The only thing that releases the inner judge is love and compassion
The only thing that allows unsafety to settle is love and compassion
The only way for the mind to rest is through love and compassion.

Compassion of the heart is a prerequisite for change that is lasting, loving, authentic and free.
Love and compassion is a practice. Of gently› shifting thoughts and emotions, and slowly allowing, opening, and excavating what is not loving. What is not Real.

Allowing others to show us compassion, before we can feel it for ourselves can be a powerful way to start feeling compassion as truth, inside of our own bodies and experience.
"This is why group work, and group experiences are so potent- we get to love each other back to wholeness.
Let's all walk each other home. That's the world I want to live inside of.

The only thing that melts shame and fear is love and compassion. Nothing else works. (Trust me, I've tried). We can not push, coerce, manipulate, or fear monger our way back to love. We can only love those parts of us that are wounded.

We are all a little toxic when we are wounded. When we truly understand that, shame and judgment melt to make way for compassion and caring.

Let us love our brittle defenses, hidden shame, and fears and anxieties back to wholeness.

(P.S. boundaries with love is also love ❤️)
