More quotes by Virginia Satir
I know people can change-right down to my bones, through every cell, in every fiber of my body-I now that people can change. It is just a question of when and in what context.
Virginia Satir
Adolescents are not monsters. They are just people trying to learn how to make it among the adults in the world, who are probably not so sure themselves.
Virginia Satir
Taste everything, but swallow only what fits.
Virginia Satir
We can learn something new anytime we believe we can.
Virginia Satir
As a therapist, I am a companion. I try to help people tune into their own wisdom.
Virginia Satir
The full life is filled with vulnerability, not defense. You face whatever feeling there is.
Virginia Satir
Many people are living in an emotional jail without realizing it.
Virginia Satir
It is now clear to me that the family is a microcosm of the world. To understand the world, we can study the family: issues such as power, intimacy, autonomy, trust, and communication skills are vital parts underlying how we live in the world. To change the world is to change the family.
Virginia Satir
I own me, and therefore, I can engineer me. I am me, and I am Okay.
Virginia Satir
We get together on the basis of our similarities we grow on the basis of our differences.
Virginia Satir
I want you to get excited about who you are, what you are, what you have, and what can still be for you. I want to inspire you to see that you can go far beyond where you are right now.
Virginia Satir
I have talked about choosing rather than acting from compulsion. When you feel that you have to live according to someone else's direction or live so that you never disappoint or hurt anybody, then your life is a continual assessment of whether or not you please other people.
Virginia Satir
You have learned what you have learned very well. It has helped you survive.
Virginia Satir
Once a human being has arrived on this earth, communication is the largest single factor determining what kinds of relationships he makes with others and what happens to him in the world about him.
Virginia Satir
Every word, facial expression, gesture, or action on the part of a parent gives the child some message about self-worth. It is sad that so many parents don't realize what messages they are sending.
Virginia Satir
I want to appreciate you without judging. Join you without invading. Invite you without demanding. Leave you without guilt.
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
My dream is to make families a place where adults with high self esteem can develop. I think we have reached a point where if we don't get busy on dreams of this sort, our end is in sight. We need a world that is as good for human beings as it is for technology.
Virginia Satir
The Problem is never the problem! It is only a symptom of something much deeper.
Virginia Satir
The greatest gift I can give is to see, hear, understand, and touch another person.
Virginia Satir
