Two standout quotes so far from my #therapy training weekend (weekend theme is birth and mother):

“Mother, you gave me life and you cut me deep.”

“What cannot be said to mother cannot be said to self.”

Has anyone in the #therapy space trained as a therapist, with a full time job you can’t cut down because you need to pay for training, and as mum to a toddler? And no family around to step in? Any pointers? I’m determined to make it work, but goodness me.

Thank you! Yes, so many things we can never unsee/unrealise!
I’ve always loved fairy tales, but since starting psychotherapy training, they’re next level and I’ll never read one the same way again. Re-read the ugly duckling (version in Women Who Run with the Wolves) in preparation for this weekend’s training and it is everything.

It packs a punch for such a small book!
So this book from my #psychotherapy course reading list pretty much explained my entire life. No biggie.

I really don’t understand this whole ‘stay on Twitter and fight’ thing. You’re jousting with bots and reply guys and wading through ads it’s not Waterloo.
Very similar to what I say to my three year old along with ‘stop licking the plug’ and ‘please for the love of a god I’ll believe in if this works, just sleep.’

No amount of breathing exercises helps. Going to try hypnosis. Any other tips?
I am the world’s most nervous driver. Some would say, “well don’t drive then” but it’s really limiting outside London. Just got beeped at twice on a 8 minute drive I was attempting to try and build up confidence. Hate every second of it, can barely breathe and my jaw is clenched the whole way 😔

Thank you! And, I took the job because I wanted it, not because I feel like I'm past it 😂
So depressing. But, I start in November!
Depressing advice from my own dad when I was recently offered a job: "Take it. Think about your age (43), and you're a woman." Part of me wanted to shout "nonsense, crawl back into your cave" at him. The other part knew there was infuriating truth in it.
It’s fantastic - have been a few times now and each experience is different
Ecstatic dance is amazing! Check out 5rhythms dance as well - gamechanger.

C.S. Lewis' advice to a young girl on how to become a better writer:
Toddler whined so much yesterday I would’ve admitted to murder just to make it stop, and then at the end of day she says, “Mummy, why are you so annoying?”
