More quotes by Virginia Satir
Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible - the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family.
Virginia Satir
Life is not what it's supposed to be. It's what it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.
Virginia Satir
So much is asked of parents, and so little is given.
Virginia Satir
No one's fingerprints are exactly the same as anyone else's.
Virginia Satir
You have all played a significant part in my development of loving. As a result, my life has been rich and full, so I leave feeling very grateful.
Virginia Satir
I want to appreciate you without judging. Join you without invading. Invite you without demanding. Leave you without guilt.
Virginia Satir
We need to see ourselves as basic miracles.
Virginia Satir
Put together all the existing families and you have society. It is as simple as that. Whatever kind of training took place in the individual family will be reflected in the kind of society that these families create.
Virginia Satir
I want to love you without clutching, appreciate you without judging, join you without invading, invite you without demanding, leave you without guilt, criticize you without blaming, and help you without insulting. If I can have the same from you, then we can truly meet and enrich each other.
Virginia Satir
Negotiating the adolescent stage is neither quick nor easy.
Virginia Satir
Taste everything, but swallow only what fits.
Virginia Satir
There are five freedoms: The freedom to see and hear what is The freedom to say what you feel and think The freedom to feel what you actually feel The freedom to ask for what you want The freedom to take risks on your own behalf.
Virginia Satir
It's sad that children cannot know their parents when they were younger when they were loving, courting, and being nice to one another. By the time children are old enough to observe, the romance has all too often faded or gone underground.
Virginia Satir
The Problem is never the problem! It is only a symptom of something much deeper.
Virginia Satir
The full life is filled with vulnerability, not defense. You face whatever feeling there is.
Virginia Satir
As a therapist, I am a companion. I try to help people tune into their own wisdom.
Virginia Satir
The symbol in Chinese for crisis is made up of two ideographs: one means danger, the other means opportunity. This symbol is a reminder that we can choose to turn a crisis into an opportunity or into a negative experience.
Virginia Satir
I feel that adolescence has served its purpose when a person arrives at adulthood with a strong sense of self-esteem, the ability to relate intimately, to communicate congruently, to take responsibility, and to take risks. The end of adolescence is the beginning of adulthood. What hasn't been finished then will have to be finished later.
Virginia Satir
Your responses to the events of life are more important than the events themselves.
Virginia Satir
We get together on the basis of our similarities we grow on the basis of our differences.
