It's not about you

“How someone treats you is a reflection of what is going inside of them. It’s not about you”. I was quite deep into my own therapeutic journey before I really began to believe this and understand what it meant. I still have to work at not reacting to the way other people are. Of course the inverse is true also, how you treat others is about what is going on for you, it’s not about them. These are difficult things to accept and it takes time and a lot of work at depth to understand your processes. Some of the most valuable lessons to learn though and something I work with clients on.
