Ever heard of Yhprumโs Law? Itโs Murphyโs Law spelled backwards and its meaning flips the script too: โ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ด๐ผ ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐, ๐๐ถ๐น๐น ๐ด๐ผ ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐.โ
During a counselling lecture, I once mixed up the order of topics. I was supposed to start with types of therapy, but I began with the importance of empathy instead. At first, I worried it would confuse the students. But something unexpected happened. They started sharing stories about the times they felt heard, or times they didnโt. The room shifted. Suddenly, therapy wasnโt just a method. It was a feeling.
When we later discussed CBT and psychodynamic approaches, they saw the heart behind the techniques. That small mistake made the lesson more human and more real.
Yhprumโs Law isnโt about ignoring problems. Itโs about trusting that sometimes, even when things donโt go as planned, they go better than expected.
Have you ever had a moment like that? Iโd love to hear your story.
