    an overnight epiphany. But therapy allowed me to unravel the tapestry of my life to see the frayed bits, worn patches and holes made from wear and tear – like your favourite pair of jeans that have been destroyed by thigh rub. All those threadbare bits had been worn down because I wasn’t making myself a priority; I hadn’t been setting personal boundaries; I didn’t give myself enough space to grow into the person I wanted to be; and I allowed others to project their issues onto me, absorbing them like an overused bath sponge. I just wasn’t kind enough to myself.
    In fact, some of the character traits I was so proud of were actually detrimental to my mental and emotional well-being.
