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.
pickEvery now and again I need a little tune-up/deep dive into my alter ego who is a fulfilled and effective psychotherapist. This is my calling! Yalom is so comfortable in his skin, lending his years of experience and thinking outside of the paradigm of the field to guide budding therapists. If only I had this when I was young!
1) Exhausted. One of my autistic children needed me to help them self-regulate so they could complete an assignment for their Senior Seminar. It‘s my last day of Spring Break so at least I didn‘t have to call off work.
2) I do not care for most of them. I have been studying mental health issues for a number of years and mostly know what works for me, so it‘s a matter of personal preference. I don‘t follow any.

Where was this book when I was a child. As a 46-year-old woman I am all in my feels about a book that makes me 11 again. I am lucky that I did not have Ellie‘s mother, but my aunt and my grandmother were just like her. Ellie is a girl who is not small. She‘s been big all her life. She‘s been picked on by people at school, people in neighborhood, and even her mother. This constant referring of “you could be pretty if you lost weight”.
First book of 2025. 1/40.
pickAn outstanding book.
Yalom describes the psychotherapy sessions he conducts.
The book does an amazing job of showcasing Yalom's impressive and fascinating professional skills while also delivering an emotional and honest human experience.
It's a professional book that explores the many layers of psychotherapy, but it's also a moving and captivating piece of human prose.
I think it really reflects Yalom.
One of the #5StarReads that I was lucky enough to stumble upon in September :)

My #BookSpin pick for September. Found it is Audio off of Libby. Already can tell this is going to be good. I love the whole “reading of a journal” format when listening to audios :)
