I am reading the book Freeing Children and Young Adults from Shame, Scales, and Stigma by
It’s a great book and I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to understand how to more fully support youth in feeling confident and stable in their bodies and with food!
But Lauren brings in this great reframe, not thinking “ What is wrong with me” but “ What is strong with me”.
Every single one of us has strength. I don’t care what you try and do to convince me you don’t, because I don’t buy it. So next time you find yourself ruminating on your faults, I want you to pause for a moment and think about your strengths, and just stay there a while.💛
