I stand with fellow victims and survivors and tell you that you do not need fixing.

We all deserve protection for our needy, vulnerable places as well as recognition of our strengths.

You do not have to be perfect to be treated with respect.

Other people's cruelty is not our fault.

There is deep healing when we invite a younger part closer and say, "You matter. Your experience matters. Your truth matters."

Each body is normal in relation to itself, despite the myths we persist in believing against all evidence.

When we stop fighting our shadows, we see ourselves and the rest of the world.

This person, this being, is filled with radiant love, approval, and pleasure at your very existence.
