I resonate so much with what you wrote here. I find that focusing on the Self is not selfish but the best thing we can do for ourselves. I recognize Internal Family System work in there. Is this what you have been practicing?
It sure is! I think too often women especially need to learn the lesson that self care and self investment is not selfish, but we need to do it and be taught it, because it seems that too often much of cultural teachings and within our families we have been taught or learned the opposite. (Certainly the case within mine!)
YES to all of this. My culture (based on Confucian teachings) is huge on diminishing the self in the hierarchy of relationships. It's essential we relearn how to connect with our Self 💜
