Feeling Defeated

You Are Not Alone!

Today I am called to tell you -- We ALL feel defeated sometimes!   

This job is hard! It is long. Others don't understand. It feels like it is constantly a FIGHT. It is EXHAUSTING on so many levels!

Don't give up - take care of YOU today! Rest. Emotionally fill yourself up! It is OK! You deserve it. 

Start fresh again tomorrow. Remind yourself of who YOU are! Remind yourself of why you are on this journey. Remind yourself that your child's struggles, behaviors, words are really NOT about you, they are rooted in grieving and loss, low self-esteem, the effects of trauma and a broken attachment.

Now you are ready! 

You CAN do this!
