John Bradshaw Self Esteem Quotes

• We need to be valued for the special person we are. We need to see all of our selves in the eyes of our caretakers as we interact with them.
• Only through this honest, truthful, sharing and mirroring can we recover our self-esteem. My shame said that I was flawed, defective and unacceptable.
