I had these from a friend's therapist:

Bill of Emotional Rights:

-You have the right to put yourself first sometimes.
-You have the right to make mistakes.
-You have the right to be the final judge of your feelings and accept that as legitimate.
-You have the right to have your own opinions and convictions.
-You have the right to change your mind or decide on a different course of action.
-You have the right to protest unfair treatment or criticism.
-You have a right to ask for help or emotional support.
-You have a right to feel and express pain.
-You have a right to ignore the advice from others.
-You have a right to receive formal recognition for your work and achievements.
-You have a right to say "no."
-You have a right to be alone, even if others would prefer your company.
-You have a right not to have to justify yourself to others.
-You have a right not to always worry about the goodwill of others.

  1. This is going to be copied into huge (neat) letters and stuck on my wall. Along with a print of the original. And in my recovery journal. Which needs something, because it hasn't been worked on in months.

    Thank you for this post X
