Isn't it strange how a stranger's harsh words can become our inner voice. But the kind words from a loved one get dismissed? My child once said "You have to say that- you're my mum". Well love may colour my words, but it doesn't make them any less true.

As a child I often felt blamed. "Its your fault" was something I heard often. Even when I went to University and missed my mum, it was my fault for moving away. Now I try to use words that make things better. When a child is sad, I try and remind them of whats good - "school is where your friends are " Because words that stay with you can also be gentle and positive.

A plate full of food got dropped today. And I was triggered by the shock and swore. You'd think at 65 I'd be "over it" by now. But maybe healing isn't about never being triggered. Maybe its more about noticing, apologising when needed, and gently moving forward.

I remember being very clumsy as a child and breaking so many things - plates, cups, glasses. I can imagine how annoying that would be to a parent - the cost of replacing stuff. But looking back now, I wonder, did I really deserve to be punished?

Children can be a handful can't they? And that made me think about the punishments that were "normal" only a very short time ago. Smacking, isolation and humiliation. They all left scars. But maybe we are only just learning to recognise the affects of these scars now.

Today I crossed a metal bridge. It wasn't very high - not really. But you could see the drop through the bars. So my fear of heights kicked in. Sometimes fear isn't logical. Therapy, I think is like that. Not easy, sometimes scary but with courage you can get through it.

As a child I loved Chester Zoo. I still do - in many ways. But now I see the sadness in an elephant's eyes. Or the awareness in a Chimpanzee's actions. And what used to bring such joy now can also bring discomfort. It's odd how our hearts shift as we grow.

Have you noticed how very young children can show so much empathy one minute - a hug for mummy when she is sad. And then none at all the next - hitting someone for apparently no reason for instance. It makes me wonder why? Is it empathy we are teaching or emotional regulation?

Today my back aches and I feel every one of my years. But what age also gave me (I think) is a bit more compassion and a softer heart. Not a bad trade.

Do you ever feel that your reaction is out of all proportion to what was actually said? That you are being "too sensitive"? But maybe you are just good at reading emotions and unspoken messages because of your past. Maybe your reaction was valid.

Do you ever feel like a bit of a fraud or maybe just not what you should be? So, I've never liked make-up. And I've never enjoyed shopping for clothes, or shoes, or handbags. So am I even a "real" woman? Or am I an imposter?

Do you ever feel guilty when you know you haven't done anything wrong? Or apologise too quickly - even when it wasn't your fault? Maybe its not about today but an echo from the past. From a time when saying sorry seemed the only way to stay safe.
