Therapist	:	Guided Self-Love Meditation (5 minutes)  “Close your eyes gently. Take a slow deep breath in… and slowly exhale out. Notice your body relaxing with each breath.  Now, place your hand over your heart. Feel your heartbeat… it’s proof that you are alive and worthy.  Silently repeat after me:  I am enough.  I am worthy of love and peace.  I accept myself as I am today.  If your mind wanders, gently bring it back to your breath and your heartbeat.  Take one more deep breath in… and breathe out slowly. When you’re ready, slowly open your eyes and carry this feeling of kindness toward yourself  into rest of your day
