I pretty much say, I think everybody's got three themes that they go around and around in their lives.
Mine were, I'm unlovable.
I'm not.
I'm worthless.
And the little match girl theme, which is standing out in the cold with no shoes on and rags, looking in the snow, looking at the family on the other side of the picture window, cooking turkey in the little velvet dresses and hugging and kissing and loving each other.
And I'm the one.
Always.
And this theme still comes up.
Something can easily trigger that.
Where I don't belong where I'm on the other side of the warm, I call it.
Janine Roth has had a voice in her head from the earliest possible days that she can remember.
But here's the thing.
She is not suffering from some diagnosable condition.
It's the same voice that many of us have.
Maybe we call it by a different name.
It's the voice of shame and blame.
It's the voice of not fitting in.
It's the voice of difference.
It's the voice of destruction.
It's the voice of not enough.
