From birth, we learn to pay close attention to what will win the approval of caregivers. We carefully master ways to shape our behavior to what is wanted so we can get the love we know we need. We suppress our own needs to please our caregivers – even when those from whom we seek love, criticize us or lead us to doubt our worthiness. It’s an all too common formula. Follow it long enough and we wake up someday in the future to realize we have suppressed our authentic selves. But at some point, we realize love is different than approval. And we begin asking ourselves some pretty important questions. This is a service about the courageous and loving choice to overcome self doubt and live into our full and magnificent selves.
