Cultivating Self-Compassion
The way we talk to ourselves, our inner dialogue, has a profound impact on our mood and wellbeing. When our thoughts are a stream of negativity and shame, the voice of our inner critic can make us believe that we are unworthy of love. We get stuck in the belief that there is something fundamentally wrong with us.
Inner Magic
My name is Marissa Valeriano and I am a therapist from Hoboken, NJ. I have wrestled with the idea of writing this blog for a long time now. Journaling has been a life changing tool in my own wellness journey and one that I have seen help my clients in a thousand ways over the years. When we write we are able to create space between ourselves and the swirling thoughts in our heads, we are better able to clarify our kaleidoscope of emotions into something that feels true.
