Dr. John A. King argues that real self-love means doing hard things that create lasting change, not indulging every impulse. For people with complex PTSD, treating yourself like you'd treat someone you cherish can reshape your wellbeing and affect everyone around you.
If you truly love someone, you don't necessarily give them what they want or even what they think would make them happy, but you want the very best for them. And sometimes the very best is, is a difficult thing and a different thing. So I want to encourage you to treat yourself as if you're someone that you love. Don't seek out for the superfluous or the shallow, but seek out for the deep and the meaningful. And those things that over time are going to make a massive difference in your life and have a tremendous impact on you and all those around you. Be good to you. You are the only you that you have.
