• “Be Kind To Yourself”

  

  These were the words spoken to me by my therapist yesterday. I’m struggling, a lot, and needed that reminder. It’s times like this that I’m especially grateful for therapy and a great therapist. My inner critic has been especially boisterous this past while, as have the critical voices from my childhood and beyond. Every attempt […]

• Attachment: Here We Go Again

  I’ve gone and done it again. I got attached to someone else. My psychiatrist. When I first met her, that Friday that I booked myself into the clinic, I can’t remember most of our interaction. I saw her four more times after that, and didn’t know what to make of her. So there wasn’t an […]

• The Challenge And Necessity Of Being Good to Ourselves

  My psychologist shared this quote online, and it’s been at the back of my mind since I saw it. I was approached by one of my male friends a few weeks ago. Someone I’d known for a number of years. We’ve never been close, but the friendship had its merits. He asked me to take […]
