My own counselor said something very similar to me, years ago. Initially I was kind of pissed--like why the eff have I been spending all this time(decades)/energy/money on healing myself--and "am I THAT broken?" (Yes.) After a while all that got replaced by a sassy kind of liberation, and I now just have an internal agreement to do the best I can and to be kind and gentle to myself and the container(s) I reside in. 'Healing at oneself' can be a form of abuse in itself.
