It’s one of my theories that when people give you advice, they’re really just talking to themselves in the past.
— Mark Epstein (American author and psychotherapist, integrating both Buddha’s and Freud’s approaches to trauma. Known for The Trauma of Everyday Life).
I used to tire of my Dad’s never ending advice, especially when I was a teenager. I finally told him “Dad, I think some things I need to learn for myself.” Funny thing is, he was right about a lot of things (he passed away many years ago now, and I often thank him for taking the time to help me. I hope he can hear me). There’s something to be said for life experience. Just sayin’ :) Hugs.
Blessings,
