INTEGRATION

There is a point in recovery where what you are learning integrates with who you are and you become YOU with the realization that you are adequate, unique, and who God made you to be. I am a treasured child of the most-high God!

This is life-changing. You can let go of the burden of low-level anxiety and depression. You feel like playing and you have fun without the usual accompanying, intangible guilt.

When we were children,to survive in our particular environment we had to tolerate being mistreated. Now we no longer have to tolerate being mistreated. We now have a choice.

and, one of Whitfield's best...

We don't stand in the rain anymore and pretend it isn't raining.
both quotes from Healing the Child Within
by Charles L. Whitfield
