Imagine sitting down with yourself as a child. You’re an adult, and you look your childhood self in the eye. You know what this child has learnt. You know what’s going to hurt them and hold them back as they grow older. And you get to say, ‘Hey, that thing you learnt? It’s not true. I completely get why you believe it so deeply, and I know that letting it go might feel hard. And it’s OK if you need to cry or shout or scream about it. But it’s not true. What is true is that you deserve love, and to know that you’re safe, and that you’re good.’
