Healing starts with selfawareness from "summary" of Women Who Love Too Much by Robin Norwood
To understand why healing starts with self-awareness, we must first recognize that our patterns of behavior and choices are often influenced by deep-rooted beliefs and emotions that we may not be fully conscious of. Without self-awareness, we are unable to recognize these underlying factors that drive our actions and decisions. When we lack self-awareness, we tend to repeat the same destructive patterns in our relationships and lives without understanding why. We may find ourselves drawn to partners who are emotionally unavailable or abusive, or we may continually put others' needs ahead of our own at the expense of our well-being. Self-awareness allows us to recognize these patterns and understand the reasons behind them. It enables us to see how our past experiences, particularly in childhood, have shaped our beliefs about ourselves and our worth. By becoming aware of these beliefs, we can start to challenge and change them. Healing begins with self-awareness because it is only through this process that we can break free from unhealthy patterns and relationships. It allows us to take responsibility for our own well-being and happiness, rather than seeking validation and fulfillment from others. Self-awareness empowers us to set boundaries and prioritize our own needs, rather than sacrificing ourselves for the sake of others. It enables us to cultivate a deeper understanding of ourselves and develop self-love and self-respect. When we are truly self-aware, we can make conscious choices that align with our values and goals, rather than being driven by unconscious fears and insecurities. It is through this process of self-discovery and growth that we can create healthier, more fulfilling relationships and lives for ourselves.
