Never underestimate a cycle breaker. Not only did they face years of generational trauma, but they stood in the face of that trauma and said “This ends with me.” This is brave. This is powerful. This comes at a significant cost. Never underestimate a cycle breaker.


If you feel stuck and not sure what your next step is towards further healing and growth, go help someone in need. Find a place that needs hands on help that is serving others. Offer your time and energy as service. Healing and growth will come.


There is much audacity in telling someone how to feel when they are suffering from someone else's actions against them.


Never discount the impact that sibling abuse has. It’s important to note that quite often an abusive sibling has abusive parents backing them to make sure the scapegoat always feels like the problem.


Often times when someone is criticizing you by saying “you’re too sensitive” or “you’re too much” their subconscious is saying “this is too honest” and “I’m scared of this truth.”


When you side with someone’s abuser, you’re not “agreeing to disagree.” You’re agreeing with the abuser harming another person & making the survivor pay for it. It may take a survivor time, but the more they heal, the more aware they are of all who play a part in their silence.


One of the worst things you can teach a child is that there is something wrong with the way they’re made. Correcting poor behavior provides them growth. Condemning them because they’re different from you takes their dignity away.


Behind the people who are told "Well, why didn't you speak up?" is a story that many, if not most, are not ready to hear.


Be kind to people-pleasers. Many of them were taught the only way to be accepted was to give others what they want without getting anything back. They were taught this by people that were supposed to keep them safe and teach them about love. Seriously, be kind.


We live 15 minutes apart. We text and chat often. And then, once a year, we meet IN PERSON like real adults. @DrDoyleSays #qualitytimeismylovelanguage

Loneliness is a complicated topic for people who are estranged. They're trying to find out who they are away from those who've hurt them. They're trying to find a version of themselves at peace, & they're not quite sure who to trust with their heart, their story, & their time.
