When you say this, you're only half right
The past is over.
But its impact isn’t.
No, you can’t rewrite the past.
But you can change how it shows up in your relationships, and how it shapes the story you tell about yourself.

Only feel happy if you feel others are 'happy' with you?
Then you're TRAPPED.
When we rely on likes, approval or reassurance to feel OK, we hand over authority for feeling ok about ourselves to others, who have their own needs/wants.

Parents, are there times when your teen won't go to school?
Do you feel judged by others? Do you often stay silent? It's not your fault
School 'avoidance' among teens (note the speech marks) isn’t a parenting failure
It’s often a sign our children are going into nervous system overwhelm
