I was recently reminded of a TEDx Talks done by Michael Neill years ago. The title is “Why Aren’t We Awesomer?”
This is a video I send to my clients when they share suicidal thoughts with me. But this video isn’t just for people with suicidal thoughts. It’s for all of us — it’s a different way to look at ourselves, our thoughts and the world.

Sometimes something just hurts because it is happening. A moment can hurt without it being a wound. An emotion can move without needing a history.
Healthy families do not suddenly become perfectly self-aware. The difference is that slowly, almost without anyone announcing it, the system becomes a little less organized around not upsetting itself.
Blame organizes pain quickly. It gives clarity where there was confusion. It offers a villain when the story feels messy. But it also flattens humanity.
Because you matter. You are important. You are worth it.
