Family Quote by Sherry Turkle

“As a therapist, I know that when you're vulnerable, the best way to move on is to admit your vulnerability, don't beat yourself up for it, and try to find a way to analyze your vulnerability. Pull up your socks and try to do better for you and your family.” quote by Sherry Turkle — Download Open image
