Quotes by Hilary Jacobs Hendel  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“When we judge others for what and how much they feel, it says more about our capacity to handle the emotions of others.”
Hilary Jacobs Hendel, It's Not Always Depression: Working the Change Triangle to Listen to the Body, Discover Core Emotions, and Connect to Your Authentic Self

“When we are not aware of what we care about and why, we lose the ability to create the life we want and to feel our best no matter the circumstances life presents.”
Hilary Jacobs Hendel, It's Not Always Depression: Working the Change Triangle to Listen to the Body, Discover Core Emotions, and Connect to Your Authentic Self

“Shame causes us to stay small, to shrink down. The mind of someone who has been burned more than once for exposing her authentic Self might say, Let’s just keep our Self as small and hidden as possible, so no one can hurt us. If we expand and reach out into the world to discover new things, we will get slammed down again. Play it safe by staying small and hidden away. And so we do.”
Hilary Jacobs Hendel, It's Not Always Depression: Working the Change Triangle to Listen to the Body, Discover Core Emotions, and Connect to Your Authentic Self

“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.”
Albert Camus
