"Finding Words"

When we can put words to past events and feelings we discover that we were not responsible for everything that went wrong. We can be more objective, putting things and situations into their proper perspective. As we look at past experiences more truthfully, we demystify them. We free ourselves from the ‘monsters’ and ‘demons’ that exercised power over us, crushing life and making us feel guilty.
Jean Vanier, Seeing Beyond Depression, page 67
