Therapy with Patsy

Trying out some new creative bits for the therapy room 😍

As a former so-called gifted & talented child, I feel the tyranny of the blank piece of paper 😶 My go-to is patterns. Safe, predictable patterns. And then I get frustrated for not being more spontaneous and creative..🫠

People I work with often get a bit anxious about working with creative materials, please feel reassured that I completely get it 🙃
And I value this process for giving us a valuable opportunity to meet ourselves✨️

I remembered I had (some) free will and took myself out for lunch today ✨️

Our increasingly hyper-individualistic culture promotes the idea that somehow we should all be self-sufficient. I believe this is a huge contributor to many of the things so many of us struggle with. We deeply need each other, it's not 'co-dependence', it's not a 'victim mindset', we are neurologically wired to live in community and connection, and to rely on each other for mutual support 💜

Little spontaneous trip out this evening, instantly felt like a natural, ermm, boat person (?)!

My baby is 23 today 🩷🥲
I occasionally tell myself that I'm not *really* middle-aged yet but it's hard to maintain that kind of denial when your youngest looks like this! 😆

It still baffles me that I've managed to raise two little humans into adulthood.. quite an achievement for someone who struggles to keep house plants alive!

When they were little, there were times I couldn't wait for them to get older, to start nursery, then school, then college.. What I didn't expect was to now feel grief for all that has been and can never be again, and desperately wanting them to be little again, just for a day..

Happy birthday baby girl, I'm so proud of the young woman you have become 🩷
