In our story lies the undeniable case for self-compassion. It illuminates the path to healing. Your life is a journey, one that’s unique and began long before you were born. Take a moment to reflect back: The lives of those in your personal family tree have shaped your lifestyle, reactions, and how you respond to stress. This history may have included multiple symptoms that developed and got worse over time, and some could say your biography became your biology. If this is true then some of the answers we seek for our current physical and emotional imbalances might be in our stories. As we reflect back, let self-compassion be our ultimate goal.
