The quote in one of the recent top posts rang hollow to me, and while I understand that there are many people who would find that quote helpful, I could not accept it as it was written.

An important part of healing is acceptance and validation, and that includes acknowledging that the struggles we go through and the fears we feel are valid. The quote, ecouraging on the surface, boils down to "there is no reason to be afraid".

I think we can do better than that - and be kinder to our inner child.
