Healing Shame: Jeanne Foot's Journey to Self-Acceptance
Let's say the you that we are is the size of a baseball in the beginning or ping pong ball, and then the you that we become as we become more self actualized is really the you of the size of a basketball, and that's just really for comparison's sake. But when we try to control the outcome- which I spent Decades trying to do, try not to show that veneer of what was behind that veneer and let it cracks, because I thought if you really really knew me, you'd never be my friend.
