When we become more present and aware of our needs, it is easier to define what feels good to our bodies and selves, and what is nourishing to us. When we stop hating ourselves and start practicing loving kindness, it is easier to take care of ourselves in nurturing ways.Shari Botwin, LCSW has been counseling survivors in recovery from trauma, eating disorders, abuse, and related issues for over 25 years in her South Jersey Private Practice. Her second book, “Thriving After Trauma: Stories of Living and Healing,” just released worldwide in paperback.

You are not responsible for anyone but yourself so stop apologizing for being you. Flip the script and instead of feeling guilty and apologizing, acknowledge you are human and own it. And, stop apologizing to others for what they are going through, instead ask what you can do to help and thereby acknowledge what they are going through. A List of Resources for You!
