To Forgive Yourself

Self-blame crushes you down.

As you try to bear up, it points out something else you've missed.

The voice inside dishing out the blame seems implacable. It knows no mercy.

But it's also the toughest obstacle in your way.

There's got to be a way to step off this infernal treadmill!

If you are both the judge and the accused, perhaps there is some way to arrange an internal parley?

This can be tricky to do – but I've seen many folks succeed, which is how I know that it's possible.

Because perpetual self-blame is actually a sign of an internal dislocation.

When things are restored to their rightful places, you can, once again, stand on your side, be your own champion.

I love this quote from Terry Pratchett:

Your own brain ought to have the decency to be on your side.

What would that be like?

I imagine you've already tried some way to make things workable, to arrange a truce.

What makes this tricky is that some part of the process goes on at the back of your brain, where ordinary talk barely reaches.

9. EVIDENCE

I have reason to believe her.

10. SAFETY / OBJECTIONS

My doubts and practical questions are being taken seriously.

11. THE FUTURE

I can imagine myself having done this.

12. INVITATION

I know what the next step is — and it still feels like my choice.
