What does it mean to love yourself? If I deeply love myself, hear my inner, old song, what does that mean? Does it make me a self-centered naval gazer?
Or is my self recognition, as in self love— my awareness of my hunger to be heard, for example— a sort of heart tenderizer to make me a patient, active listener?
Does loving myself make me a better therapist for my own broken heart? Can I come from that gentle, self-accepting place (and largely by intuition and wholly from love) to be better at actively listening to and hearing another?
Even another with whom I, on the surface, may disagree?
