Quotes by Helene G. Brenner

Outside voices are the feelings, wants and opinions of others that ring so loudly in your ears, you cant hear anymore whats true for yourself ... when outside voices take over, they keep you from knowing and trusting the best guide you have, your own inner experience ... Needing other people makes us feel vulnerable, and feeling vulnerable causes our outside voices to go into veritable feeding frenzies. In fact, if youre in the midst of an outside-voice attack, theres a good chance youve done, tried to do, or were thinking about doing, something very vulnerable for you. .
