Beautiful essay on self-acceptance and, dare I say, self-appreciation! I love how you name all the components – "the grumps," "the flighties," etc. It kind of makes these separate entities (Parts???) that can be related to, rather than faults to get rid of. Lots of lessons in this piece! TY.

Thank you! Come to think of it, it's just parts of my sympathetic response >> The Flighties = flight, The Grumps = fight. Fortunately not getting The Overwhelmies (freeze response) very much anymore now that I'm happy/healthy
