That is so central in my experience. In addition to the beautiful quilt image and the "keep coming back" idea - which the other comments have mentioned - another thought rings so true - feel the feeling and then let it go. That sounds so simple and yet without self-esteem it's almost impossible. What should be a breeze or quick flash of lightening is caught and held in. It grows into something it doesn't have to be - a twisting pain to the soul. Every simple feeling can become so tortured if it's not allowed to be felt for what it is and then - let go. Great interview! All my best -- John <em>John Folk-Williams's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.storiedmind.com/~r/storiedmind/~3/hdnjdjL36Nc/'>What We Deserve from Life</a></em> isabella –

This story exemplifies what self esteem really is, true self love. It also shows the important role it plays in our recovery. The image of being the threads in our quilt of recovery is wonderful. Often, I think we, (society) sends the message that we must have self esteem beyond all else and somewhere in the translation it becomes confused with a superior regard for ones self rather than the self acceptance or self love you speak of in the post. The danger lies in the interpretation of the message by someone who is already not feeling good about themselves adding on the message that the lack of self esteem makes them even more abnormal. "Keep coming back" is so powerful as it is the only way that we build a better image of ourselves. The greatest gains come from struggling through our problems even when we want to give up. Eventually we see the great things inside us that have been hidden away waiting to emerge. Thank you for posting this.
