“The truth about our childhood is stored up in our body, and although we can repress it, we can never alter it. Our intellect can be deceived, our feelings manipulated, and conceptions confused, and our body tricked with medication. But someday our body will present its bill, for it is as incorruptible as a child, who, still whole in spirit, will accept no compromises or excuses, and it will not stop tormenting us until we stop evading the truth. “
QUOTE by Alice Miller – Swiss Psychologist 1923 – 2010
Her books include: The Body Never Lies; The Truth Will Set You Free; The Drama of the Gifted Child; Free From Lies
REFLECTION:
- Is your body presenting a bill for a childhood truth?
- Is it time to examine this? BE KIND and gentle with yourself…. and if you are ready, perhaps you can find a trusted person (therapist) to support you in unpacking this.
- If not ready yet, trust you will know when the time is right. BE COMPASSIONATE with yourself – no judgment.
