If You Believe In The Maternal Instinct And Fail At Mother Love, You Fail As A Woman. It Is A Controlling Idea That Holds Us In An Iron Grip.

To Say Something Nice About Themselves, This Is The Hardest Thing In The World For People To Do.

For Instance, In Group Therapy, I'll Have People Stand Up, Show Off, Give A Speech About Themselves As Though They've Just Died And Have To Give A Eulogy. Even With This Explicit Permission - Even An Order - To Say Something Nice About Themselves, This Is The Hardest Thing In The World For People To Do. They'd Rather Take Their Clothes Off.

The Older I Get...the More Of My Mother I See In Myself.
