Book cover for Rage Becomes Her: The Power of Women's Anger
By naturalizing the idea that girls and women aren’t angry but are sad, by insisting that they keep their anger to themselves, we render women’s feelings and demands mute and with little social value. When we call our anger sadness instead ...more

Galit Atlas
“In ways that often feel mysterious, emotional material left unprocessed tends to appear and reappear in our lives. The unexamined life repeats itself and reverberates through the generations. The untold stories clamor for reenactment - they insist on being told. That which cannot be consciously identified forces itself into our reality and repeats itself.”
Galit Atlas, Emotional Inheritance: A Therapist, Her Patients, and the Legacy of Trauma

Edith Eger
“Underlying our least effective and most harmful behavior is a philosophical or idealogical core that is irrational but is so central to our views of ourself and the world that often we aren't aware that it is only a belief, nor are we aware of how persistently we repeat this belief to ourselves in our daily lives.”
Edith Eger, The Choice: Embrace the Possible

Thich Nhat Hanh
“I asked the leaf whether it was frightened because it was autumn and the other leaves were falling. The leaf told me "No. During the whole spring and summer I was completely alive. I worked hard to help nourish the tree, and now much of me is in the tree. I am not limited by this form. I am also the whole tree, and when I go back to the soil, I will continue to nourish the tree. So I don't worry at all. As I leave this branch and float to the ground, I will wave to the tree and tell her, "I will see you again very soon".
That day there was a wind blowing and, after a while, I saw the leaf leave the branch and float down to the soil, dancing joyfully, because as i floated it saw itself already there in the tree. It was so happy. I bowed my head, knowing that I have a lot to learn from that leaf.”
Thich Nhat Hanh, Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life

Edith Eger
“Anything we practice, we become better at. If we practice anger, we'll have more anger. If we practice fear, we'll have more fear. In many cases, we actually work very hard to ensure that we go nowhere. Change is about noticing what's no longer working and stepping out of the familiar, imprisoning patterns.”
Edith Eger, The Choice: Embrace the Possible

Amanda Gorman
“Goodbye, by which we say to another— Thanks for offering your life into mine. By Goodbye, we truly mean: Let us be able to say hello again.”
Amanda Gorman, Call Us What We Carry
