“If we can share our story with someone who responds with empathy and understanding, shame can't survive.”

“Paradigms power perception and perceptions power emotions. Most emotions are responses to perception—what you think is true about a given situation. If your perception is false, then your emotional response to it will be false too. So check your perceptions, and beyond that check the truthfulness of your paradigms—what you believe. Just because you believe something firmly doesn’t make it true.”
― Wm. Paul Young, The Shack
