“Only when we feel
our feelings and recognize why we have them can we know what gives our lives
meaning…In order for us to know what we feel, significant others have had to
care about us and been concerned about how we feel. It has had to be or become
safe for us to speak the truth and to at upon what we know. Once we can act
upon what is true for us, our choices shape our lives, and our lives are
expressions of what genuinely matters to us. Only then are we free of the ring
of power.” ~Jean Shinoda Bolen, MD, The Ring of Power: The Abandoned Child, the
Authoritarian Father, and the Disempowered Feminine
