Kriesberg.

It was a really useful book, but definitely one that I had to read slowly and keep coming back to.…Read more

I’ve commented on this on the thread called The Mother Wound in the past.

I feel like even though I’ve been aware of this for a while, and saying I needed to find out more, I haven’t really had the strength to. Like all narcissists I guess…Read more

I’m currently listening to Nick Ortner’s first book through the app and doing at least two tapping meditations every day. Just having access to all of the audiobooks makes the app worth the money for me.

I think you’re probably right that your friend’s anxiety levels might be linked, that would have been my first thought too. I’m guessing that you’ve already talked to her about some ways to centre herself before connecting with the kids.

Like you said, it’s not really surprising that her 5 year is having these tics. What a year it h…Read more

I imagine the one you have for your son is such a comfort.

He was 87 and hadn’t been in good health for a while, so his passing was semi-expected even if I wasn’t really prepared for it.
