Hello and welcome back to the Self-Healer Soundboard.

Today's episode we're going to talk about Self-Love, a concept for many of us that is not

yet a practice that is so important on our healing journey.

On last week's episode we talked all about forgiveness and how to forgive.

A major component in forgiveness of self and of others is self-love.

Self-love is something that you hear so often talked about and something that not many of

us really practice or really even know how to practice.

So on today's episode we're going to dive in how to cultivate and strengthen a foundation

of true self-love.

You're absolutely right Jenna, many of us struggle with self-love into adulthood.

As children, our core need is to get love because as children, our survival depends on

it.

We don't have that point of connection, that caregiver, that cares enough about us to show

up in service of our needs.

We don't have a chance to survive.

So what many of us begin to do in childhood is we begin to adapt and modify all of the

parts of our self that didn't feel safe to express or that were shamed when we began

to express it.

So as children, we begin to erode that self-love at such an early age because again,

our survival depends on it.

So self-love and the practice of self-love really is tending to that inner child within

you.
