“You are not your illness. You have an individual story to tell. You have a name, a history, a personality. Staying yourself is part of the battle.”
“What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candor, and more unashamed conversation.”
“We are not our trauma. We are not our brain chemistry. That’s part of who we are, but we’re so much more than that.”
“There is no normal life that is free of pain. It’s the very wrestling with our problems that can be the impetus for our growth.”
“One small crack does not mean that you are broken, it means that you were put to the test and you didn’t fall apart.”
“Mental health…is not a destination, but a process. It’s about how you drive, not where you’re going.”
“Life doesn’t make any sense without interdependence. We need each other, and the sooner we learn that, the better for us all.”
“Give yourself a break. Stop beating yourself up! Everyone makes mistakes, has setbacks and failures. You don’t come with a book on how to get it right all the time.”
“There is no standard normal. Normal is subjective. There are seven billion versions of normal on this planet.”
“Even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there.”
“By taking care of myself I have so much more to offer the world than I do when I am running on empty.”
“Just because no one else can heal or do your inner work for you doesn’t mean you can, should, or need to do it alone.”
