Thoughts for Carers
from Robert Trett, of Spectrum Personality Disorder Service, Victoria
Criticism turns off hearing
Threats fall on deaf ears
Love and encouragement offer the strongest hope
We cling to the belief that if we prop someone up for long enough,
he or she will get strong …
The reality is …
Strength develops as that person stands on her or his own
Go slowly …
Change is difficult for all
