My therapist lists my positive attributes when all I can see is negativity. It's always powerful that she can cut through all the negative crap I've spilled into the room with care and support by reminding me that I'm so much more than my past. It's inspirational because I become inspired to start looking at my life through a different perspective. It's a hard lesson, but I'm learning that my past doesn't define me. It's not my whole life and it certainly doesn't confirm my future.
