The Lifelong Feeling of Not Being Good Enough

A woman describes how she fully participated during the whole retreat rather than trying to get away to her room, which is new for her. She feels there is a wounded girl inside her who is impacted by sexual abuse resulting in a lifelong feeling of not being good enough. After constant concern about how her body looks, she wonders why that is and what it has to do with the non-dual teachings. Rupert asks her if she had a close friend who told her what she just told herself, what would you say. Her reply: 'It's not your fault’.' Rupert asks her if she would see her friend as flawed, to which she responds 'no'. He suggests she have this attitude towards herself, understanding nothing needs to be improved; she is not flawed in any way.
