. Nobody loves me, everybody hates me ... I may as well eat worms!
. Why did they go and leave me?
Are these the sort of thoughts that go round in your head? I can help.
I know how it feels, because I have had each of these thoughts.
Here's how I might start:
Q: Why does nobody ever listen to me?
A: Is that how it feels? Would you like me to listen to you?
A: There used to be a song about that ... I wonder what worms taste like?
Q: Why did grandma have to die?A: I'm sorry she died, and I can see you are sad. Everyone feels loss differently, can you tell me what it's like for you?
===============================================================
This is my promise to every youngster I see:
"You are important to me, because I care about what happens to you and above all, my wish is for you to be happy about yourself. I can show you the tricks, so you understand that you are not your thoughts. I will listen without judging or belittling you. Bring me your worries, however big or small, and I will give you a safe place to speak out."
