Quotes by Sharon Martin  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“If an adult tells a small child that he or she is a failure, not smart enough, too fat, or not talented, the child will accept this as fact and internalize these beliefs about himself or herself. The child then continues to unconsciously find evidence to support this belief. So, if your mother has been telling you that you’re fat since you were four years old, you probably still think you’re unattractive or overweight, or you worry about your weight (unless you’ve worked hard to undo this belief).”
Sharon Martin, The CBT Workbook for Perfectionism: Evidence-Based Skills to Help You Let Go of Self-Criticism, Build Self-Esteem, and Find Balance

“You're only human. You don't have to have it together every minute of the day.”
Anne Hathaway

“Boundaries create a healthy separation between you and others and define who you are, so you can be yourself and make choices that are right for you.”
Sharon Martin, The Better Boundaries Workbook: A CBT-Based Program to Help You Set Limits, Express Your Needs,and Create Healthy Relationships
