- During my training, a supervisor once told me, "There's something likable in everyone," and to my great surprise, I found that she was right. It's impossible to get to know people deeply and not come to like them.
- And visit they will, because everyone has demons - big, small, old, new, quiet, loud, whatever. These shared demons are testament to the fact that we aren't suck outliers after all. And it's with this discovery that we can create a different relationship with our demons, one in which we no longer try to reason our way out of an inconvenient inner voice or numb our feelings with distractions like too much wine or food or hours spent surfing the internet (an activity my colleague calls "the most effective short-term nonprescription painkiller")
