AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGHhh, , , the stress, , , my goodness.
I went to Facebook to VENT, which is obviously NEVER a good idea.
No sooner had the words come out of my mouth than the phone calls started.
‘Are you okay?’ You sound so STRESSED….… Read the rest

like picking mushrooms
How do you know though? ? ? The men who have assaulted me seemed nice enough on the surface. . . My body didn’t register a danger in some way. . . so how can you tell which men are the poisonous ones?… Read the rest
In homage to men
Men are so beautiful.
i will share an interesting article soon that mentions the fact that in America at least, men feel unimportant because they are no longer needed as âbreadwinnersâ in relationships.
I have never been the type to expect âbreadâ from a man (apart from a general sense of generosity perhaps), but I love men for so much more.… Read the rest
the will to live
Something is sucking all the joy out of my life, and I think it might be the cutting down of this connection (but I am not sure).
If I could really trust that person, and if I wasn’t so prone to vulnerability and oversharing, that would be something!… Read the rest

Virtual co-regulation or the start of something challenging
Some therapists believe that the pathway to secure attachment lies in healing of our dysregulated nervous systems. This is the realm of Polyvagal theory. It makes sense to me intellectually. However, engaging in the co-regulating practices through a computer screen this evening leaves me feeling worse than when I began the workshop.… Read the rest
understanding men
It is so interesting to learn about male psychology and biology. I am noticing that I perceive men in such a different way as I build this knowledge. I see them ‘from their point of view’ rather than through a woman’s lens.… Read the rest
the stigma, perhaps, , , is that it?
I spoke to a psychologist friend of mine today.
Two things came out of the conversation.
The first is that it is hard on my soul to be ‘friends with a psychologist’, despite the fact that I have a weak but warm friendship with my first and favourite treating psychologist.… Read the rest
break, nother fook
Like a billiard table. Every time I put something out into this sphere, the energy shifts, and changes. One ball bouncing off another.
And the blessed (but unfortunate) way that expressing emotions takes away their intensity and their power.
What are these shifting energies.… Read the rest
