Lyrics to Pink’s Courage

As you may have been able to tell if you’ve been following me a while, I love Pink and her lyrics. They very much capture a lot of truth about the human experience.

Life can certainly feel this way, and working in therapy to heal ourselves definitely does. It can feel tiring and like there is no easy way forward.

Regardless each step can take you closer to discovering or rediscovering who you truly are. It takes courage and hope for a better, brighter future to do this work.

And my job in the process is to hold that hope for others. I can see what their life might be if they are able to let go the pain of their past. I can see who they can be or grow into as they start showing up as their true, authentic selves.

And never once have I thought to myself, ‘oh no’ or had some sense that the person before me is warped, or bad, or worthless or evil. That is not the type of person who walks through  my doors. And I don’t believe that’s the type of person you are.

I see you, I see the truly beautiful heart you have. You are worth it. Always.
