When manure is dumped on your life, compost it.
Shovel the compost, turning it over and over;
Let it rest awhile to cure.
Repeat shoveling and resting . . .
Until the stink is gone.
THEN it’s ready to fertilize the dream that fulfills your destiny. –Scrap Lady Sharon Barnes
A child will integrate only those experiences that her primary care-givers can accept and hold, and will exclude from awareness those thoughts, feelings and behaviors that might disrupt her most crucial attachment relationships. These unacceptable experiences then remain undeveloped, unintegrated, and impossible to verbalize. They become … nearly unreachable places in the psyche that hold implicit experiences of relational trauma.
