That's a great question. I recently asked my therapist this question earlier this week in our session. I admitted out loud that I hated myself and I don't know how to heal. It was in relation to why I couldn't believe or accept when someone tells me that they love or care about me.

My therapist said to think positively of each day. If I did laundry and took a walk, acknowledge what I did that day and think positively about it. And to allow the love that comes my way, to be shown what love is through another person's eyes. That hopefully allowing that in, I can one day come to love myself. I don't know how to get there myself, but I hope that it's something to consider.
