I have a few but my absolute favorite was when he said
" Imagine there’s a woman, maybe she is homeless or on drugs, and she shouts at you as you walk by across the street. She says you look like a cockroach. What would you do? "
“Probably laugh”
“Exactly, think of your parent as that woman. They have no effect on your life but noise”
I’m paraphrasing but I liked the idea of my negative thoughts ingrained by generations of trauma being like a random shouting on the street.
