Freedom was the name for the dizzying power that lasted through her library expeditions. No pleasantries ever needing to be exchanged with the librarian on duty. Even the round clock at high noon on the wood-panelled wall had no claim on her. From the first second she entered the building she was in other times, other dimensions. She was other Naoises.

Music Therapy: An art beyond words | Leslie Bunt, Brynjulf Stige

Sometimes I listen to music that reflects my mood, and sometimes I listen to music to try to change my mood. I've been feeling anxious, so I've been finding comfort in this playlist I made for MisterInBlue last year when my health started turning around. I guess it's not surprising that songs that remind me of my safe person make me feel safe. 🩵🩵🩵

marleed Love a good playlist. I have these old playlists from a difficult juncture in my life called PlainSad, PlainPretty, PlainPissed, and PlainPathetic. I haven‘t added to them in years (iTunes) but I still play them when the occasion calls. 🎶🎧 2w

Women Who Love Too Much | Robin Norwood
Mehso-so

I was hoping to get to understand the deep emotions of women who love too much and why they feel more deeply than others but the focus of this book was only on women who had an abusive relationship with their parents and especially alcoholism was the center of this book, and that wasn‘t what I expected from this book, neither did it gave me the explanation I am still craving so much. The stories of those women were still interesting and deep tho.

4,5/5 ⭐

Very interesting, but unfortunately I could only follow the theoretical side; my main goal was to apply the practical side, but I couldn't do the exercises at all. The book was a bit more spiritual and political than I expected, but all in an appropriate/sensible way.
I think IFS is potentially a therapy that can get to the roots of issues instead of working top-down/just managing symptoms like many common therapies.

This was not it for my anxious mind. I think this would be better for someone in their early twenties or even teenagers who struggle with negative self image. I did like the takeaway the idea of: when your creative brain takes you on the familiar negative thoughts, start thinking of the good and create a neuro pathway that can be worn well to eventually overtake the negative thoughts. Practice makes perfect in our minds too.

AileenRR That‘s a great tip! 3w

Reading this book was painful, but in the right way. It gave language to things I‘ve felt but couldn‘t explain. It helped me realize I wasn‘t broken or alone. There are stories in it that made me cry—because I saw myself in them. Jamison writes with such care and respect for every life, even the ones lost.

I think this book might have saved me a little, or at least made me feel like I was worth saving.

“Suicidal people often feel completely alone—even when they‘re surrounded by others. The desire for someone to see them, to understand them, is profound. And when that doesn‘t come, the silence can feel like a verdict.”

#mentalhealthmonday

Late because work started back yesterday so I was busy, which was good for my mental health. I have ADHD so unless there‘s a “fire”, it‘s difficult for me to keep myself moving and focused. And with this mess in Iran, (and Dodgers having a travel day, lol), I would have probably been frozen in bed.

TheBookHippie It‘s good to keep busy. 1mo
