“Client session today:
Client shared something tragically horrible. My response was "This is the kind of thing that you will never get over or heal from or be okay with. You will, over time, have more and more-
space between the horribleness and not live with it every second. But you will never find a place to put this where it doesn't wreck you and we need to integrate that into your life." They burst into tears and said "Thank you for saying this. Everyone else is telling me I will-

world to allow for the fact that there are some things we are not capable of "handling". That's not because there is something wrong with us, it is because life is sometimes just beyond our ability to hold or tolerate.
We can't handle some things. But we can be wise about the fact of this and we can certainly learn to be skillful with it. The first step is to make room for the reality of it.” - Sadee Whip
