Text Quotes
True love heals and affects spiritual growth. If we do not grow because of someone else’s love, it’s generally because it is a counterfeit form of love.  (John Bradshaw Quotes) Virtue is an inner strength. It expands your nature  (John Bradshaw Quotes) Children are natural Zen masters; their world is brand new in each and every moment  (John Bradshaw Quotes) It’s okay to make mistakes. Mistakes are our teachers - they help us to learn  (John Bradshaw Quotes) You can find more traditional Shakespeare than we do. But what we want to bring to these works is energy, passion, freshness  (John Bradshaw Quotes) I believe that this neglected, wounded, inner child of the past is the major source of human misery  (John Bradshaw Quotes) The foundation for our self-image is grounded in the first three years of life. It comes from our major caretaker’s mirroring  (John Bradshaw Quotes) There are plenty of quacks in the field. Fewer than you’d expect, though still plenty (in alternative medicine)  (John Bradshaw Quotes) It’s essential to tell the truth at all times. This will reduce life’s pain. Lying distorts reality. All forms of distorted thinking must be corrected.  (John Bradshaw Quotes) As a child I was not allowed to express my feelings, so I had to go back through therapy and express the child’s pain.  (John Bradshaw Quotes) We move from the illusion of certainty, to the certainty of illusion  (John Bradshaw Quotes) Children aren’t fooled. They know we give time to the things we love.  (John Bradshaw Quotes) Children need parents who model self-discipline rather than preach it. They learn from what their parents are actually willing to do; not from what they say they do.  (John Bradshaw Quotes) In my family, as in all dysfunctional families, instead of parents who act as strong and nurturing role models for their children, you get these needy people who use their children. I was the kid who tried to take on the marriage.  (John Bradshaw Quotes) The unlimited power that many modern gurus offer is false hope. Their programs calling us to unlimited power have made them rich, not us. They touch our false selves and tap our toxic shame.  (John Bradshaw Quotes) In ‘Reclaiming Virtue,’ I argue that we have had an element missing in moral education. That element is ‘affect.’ Affect is simply the technical word for feeling or emotion.  (John Bradshaw Quotes) The figure of Satan and the fires of hell have been demythologized by modern Christian biblical scholars, theologians and philosophers.  (John Bradshaw Quotes) Many self-help books give you these neat, tidy formulas that are really illusions. They dupe people into thinking, ‘Well if I can just do that, then everything’s going to be okay.’ My work differs in that I don’t offer quick solutions and simple explanations.  (John Bradshaw Quotes) Most people who have survived abuse have great strength  (John Bradshaw Quotes) Shame is the root of all addictions  (John Bradshaw Quotes) Ego is to the true self what a flashlight is to a spotlight  (John Bradshaw Quotes) We cannot heal what we cannot feel  (John Bradshaw Quotes) Children aren’t fooled. They know we give time to the things we love  (John Bradshaw Quotes) You can’t heal what you can’t feel  (John Bradshaw Quotes) I have never met an aggressive person who wasn’t a fearful person  (John Bradshaw Quotes) Chronically dysfunctioning families are also delusional. Delusion is sincere denial  (John Bradshaw Quotes) It’s essential to tell the truth at all times. This will reduce life’s pain. Lying distorts reality. All forms of distorted thinking must be corrected  (John Bradshaw Quotes) Children are curious and are risk takers. They have lots of courage. They venture out into a world that is immense and dangerous. A child initially trusts life and the processes of life  (John Bradshaw Quotes) It is a mark of soulfulness to be present in the here and now. When we are present, we are not fabricating inner movies. We are seeing what is before us  (John Bradshaw Quotes) Since the earliest period of our life was preverbal, everything depended on emotional interaction. Without someone to reflect our emotions, we had no way of knowing who we were  (John Bradshaw Quotes)
