Check-in Trauma Support Community, 22-23 April 2021
Appreciate yourself.
I ask you to take some time to reflect.
To appreciate how wonderful you are.
Struggling to get better, moving forward against all odds, coming to terms with the bad luck you had at some time to suffer a traumatic event (or many). You made it to here.
In this Community, you recognize and share your feelings, and understand those of your fellow companions. To support each other, and most importantly, to give and receive love.
I am moved every day by the many precious gifts of support and care you give to each other. The gifts of making better the life of a fellow hurting soul.
Even I have received so much love from all of you, to fill the planet Earth, and beyond. I am immensely grateful for that.
Despite having been mistreated, you love. Despite struggling, you support others. Despite it often hurts, you keep moving forward.
I admire you, I respect your courage, and I love you for this. I wish you see your immense value. Please, reflect on how hugely valuable you are.
I know that for a few of you it is difficult to recognize all this beauty and goodness within yourself. Think of the person you love the most, the one you admire the most, and look within yourself with the same attitude, with the same eyes you see this person.
Put on your “appreciation glasses” and look inside.
Take a moment to appreciate yourself.
Questions
- How are you feeling today ?

I look forward to your comments, and wish you all the best !
Marcelo.

Hi Marcelo,
Thanks for this topic. You're right it's hard to apply the same appreciation we have for others towards ourselves. We tend to view ourselves and see all the flaws but look at others and see all the goodness. As I read your post I can see myself being resistent to the words.
- How are you feeling today ? I am feeling tired today. I don't think I've been getting good sleep this week.
- What do you appreciate the most about yourself ? I appreciate that I am understanding myself better and using that knowledge to better manage my emotions and not let negative emotions hold me back for too long.
@WelcomeToChat
Marcelo, this check in moved me. I've told you a couple of times that you put things in perspective to me, and today wasn't the exception. I deserve to be kind to myself because, no matter how hard times are, I always find a way to keep going. And I think it is because of friends. They give me so much kindness and it would be unfair to underestimate what they do for me.
@WelcomeToChat, Hello Marcelo.
1. I feel good.
2. I appreciate the progress that I made in my life no matter how big or small it is.
Have a nice day!
1. I'm feeling a bit trapped inside my head today and have been startled by little things. 2. I appreciate that I am a very self-reliant and self-sustaining person. I know that if I needed to, I would be perfectly fine on my own.
