Belief can truly be self limiting. This can apply for those you care for as well. I have a son who has a lot of emotional regulation issues. It took me letting go of this idea that he was broken, damaged, or mentally ill to really start to be able to make progress. Now I see him as someone who needs to develop more skills, which he can learn and I can help him with.
Had a breakdown yesterday, over the assumption that "I'm broken." Luckily, I was able to clear my head and realize that this pattern of thinking has caused problems for me for years. This was a pretty timely article.
