Some of the highlights Ray shares:

Never base your self worth on your past; it was a life lesson, not a life sentence There is no perfect parent - we don't blame, shame, or condemn Feelings buried alive never dieHow to heal from mother wounds and father woundsFrom ages 0-10 is our core imprint period of development where we attach meanings to eventsYour subconscious brain stores all your memories and the beliefs attached to themWe can't change the event, but we can change the meaning we assigned to those events Every thought is tied to a beliefWhen you know the truth the truth will set you free, if you're not free, you haven't found the truth.Stress is not what you're thinking; it's what you believe about what you're thinkingWe need to stop, ask "what am I thinking", and then "why am I thinking that?"  The people who hurt you were broken and empty and couldn't give you what they didn't haveRewrite the meaning! You are not worthless, rejected, abandoned, unlovable, etc.If you remember an event and it still hurts, there is still a lie attached to itNeeds are driven by lack (usually something you didn't get during your core imprint)Take just one step at a timeAnd more
