the humbled therapist

“Let someone love you just the way you are – as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.”
— Marc Hack  (via floralnymph)

Anonymous asked: that poster... "just snap out of it'... reminds of another poster I have seen that says " telling someone with mental health issues to get over it is like telling someone who was stabbed to stop bleeding..." seriously, if my brain would give me access, I would fix it yesterday....

Exactly! Thank you so much for sharing:)

this, wow, this! it’s terrible how people get told these things as if it was something that could just be “stopped”. I wish people understood the complexity of the human mind, body, spirit phenomenon and realize that it’s these intricacies that can lead to various forms of mental illness. it’s pain, it’s brain chemistry, it’s feelings, it’s thoughts, it’s everything put together… there’s no simple solution, no simple answer.
if I could control it with my mind, trust me, I would.
