“The madness is often thinking that we are just that wounded part that keeps us from being in the room, so to speak. Sometimes, the presence of someone who really see’s with eyes of compassion and love, we experience ‘oh, I’m really, really acceptable, and lovable, and fully welcome here.’ It’s like the sun coming out.” – Tracy Cochran
