Quote
After talking about it with my therapist, I realized what had happened. In therapy, I was taught skills to learn how to love myself. Instead of focusing on my shortcomings, I learned to give myself credit for the things I was doing well. Also, I did not need to compare myself to others, since I have been given unique gifts and I do not have to act the same way others do, nor do I need to progress at the same rate that others do. Sometimes progress from one day to the next means feeling happy for just one minute longer than I did the previous day. With skills like these under my belt, I have been able to manage my anxiety much better than before. Instead of feeling like a constant failure, I have learned to love myself more often.— Elena Aburto
