尊重自己（新版）

by Virginia Satir

　　作者在撰寫此書時，已經從事心理治療和教導工作近四十年了，而她發現，在人的生命中，總有一段時期，人們會以不同的心情和想法，重新面對經歷過的事物，因而產生新的觀念和領悟。藉著本書所揭示的尋求真我、尊重自己的精義，你可以從心態上的改變做起，讓自己獲致一個全然嶄新的契機。

　　一個十二歲的孩子問薩提爾：「生命究竟是怎麼回事嘛？
　　生命根本是毫無道理的。生命的意義到底又是什麼呢？」
　　如果要幫助這個處在生命困境中的女孩，
　　薩提爾知道自己得先回答這些問題。
　　可是，她竟然發現她從來沒有真正的解答。
　　〈我就是我〉這首詩是她當時勉力以對的回答。
　　對女孩和薩提爾而言，那是一個全然嶄新的可能的開端。

I was torn between giving this 2 or 3 stars; unfortunately no option for 2.5. It's really no more than a gift book made up of a single poem strung out over several pages. Presents the concept that we own ourselves - our bodies, our thoughts, our choices, our feelings - and we can create the life we want. Could be a good gift for the person who needs esteem-building.

The words of this poem are absolutely beautiful, relevant, and uplifting. It's an inspiring quick read on the topic of self-esteem and self-acceptance. I first read this book/poem in high school many years ago, and it's one that stays in my heart even still.

Inspirational and the quickest self help book in existence. Simply calls one back into focus.

I've been told that Satir is an important person to read when learning about family therapy, so I was excited to find this book laying around my internship. I should have been alerted that it wasn't what I was looking for by how short it was - this is a book of poetry, not a book of family therapy techniques and theories.

That being said, I enjoyed the poem (even given my limited knowledge and exposure to poetry) and can see how it would be useful in a therapeutic setting.

It is a great book to have on the shelf - especially for difficult times - it focuses on the positive for each one reading it. Written in a simple poem style, it foregoes $5 words and addresses various issues. It is kept on my shelf and reading it today helped with certain issues I am dealing with. I know it may not be for everybody, but you don't know unless you give it a read.

I read this poem every morning. It is a call to improve and engineer yourself for the future, and a gentle reminder that you are enough as you are in this moment. Satir’s tenderness for all humanity is evident. And her kindness towards them is even more profound.

In my ThetaHealing class I was recommended this book from my instructor.
This works as a tool for self-love and words of affirmations.
There isn't a lot of pages.
These words are good references in ThetaHealing sessions.

This poem is so important in a world where social media is making us doubt ourselves and feel not good enough a lot of the time!

Muy bonito poema, la verdad si me llegó súper corto el poema pero con un gran y poderoso mensaje que todo el mundo debería leer para recordarte lo mucho que vales en esta vida. ❤️🤩
