Quotes to ponder:
"I see this type of thinking in almost all my clients, and it’s hard to admit that I see it in myself."
"It’s important for me to feel this, to realize that it is natural for people to have a hard time letting go, and to understand that possessing objects can and does often make us feel safe."
"Minimizing is a process. A step here, a step there, when we’re ready."
