Punishing Quotes (15 quotes)

“It’s common to reject or punish yourself when you’ve been rejected by others.

What are you doing to protect yourself? Find a healthy way to express your pain.”

“Certain things are extremely difficult to understand, such as the concept of unconditional love, perhaps it is due to mislead thoughts about God’s love for us. Assuming that we can say or do certain things and suddenly lose this love and approval. But I when I picture God I picture him standing with his arms out saying, "Beth stop punishing yourself." And he says it like my dad used to say, with such great authority and assurance in his voice that I can't help but smile, and know it's gonna be ok.”
