Approximate reading time: 23 minutes It’s been a good week. I finished my first master’s assignment, so feeling relatively proud of myself:-) Although can I just say how grateful I am that I’m not a full-time academic. I am currently working on my next assignment which is about comparing the symptoms of Developmental Trauma with …

Approximate reading time: 10 minutes I have writer’s block. I do. I hate it when this happens….I have been so excited to write the final attachment post. And yet It’s a dismal state of affairs. (Sometimes I feel like the only thing 100% consistent about me is my innate ability to be completely inconsistent!) Were …
Jealousy
Approximate reading time: 5 min You see this is why I could never be a professional writer….. my inability to follow through and finish the bloody assignment would mean I would undoubtably be fired in roughly 3 weeks. I can almost hear the editor now: Oh, you mean the one on the Anxious Avoidant style? …
Let it be
Approximate reading time: 3 min 16th February 2021 Another beautiful day, sitting quietly on my own. Painting random pictures to accompany all my poems. Listening to hours of transcripts (therapy sessions with Gabor) So much this man teaches just resonates to my core. The doorbell rings, a surprise delivery for me? are those Blooms Flowers …
The Hug
Approximate reading time: 5 Minutes Well as fate would have it, no sooner than I finished the last blog post, I got a message from my estate agent saying that the tenant will sign for a year…..so disaster averted I’m back in my happy place:-) All that worry and angst…for nothing I tell you! It …
For the love of Melancholy
(Approximate reading time: 5 min) It has been an interesting week. I feel like I have been flying sky high on the fumes of a) My attachment studies (which I am loving!) b) The fact that I am blogging regularly (Wohooo – Yayee meee!!!) c) And that 13 days ago I finally found a tenant …
Flipsides of a coin
(Approximate reading time: 8 min) Dam, this back-blogging is difficult;-) I kind of see why people so often ‘sanitize’ their stories and leave out the yucky, dark parts of it, because when you are feeling happy and sunny….. it’s sometimes the LAST thing you want to go back to. At the moment, I feel a …
A day of contrast
I just have to say, today was AMAZING!! I had my first day of online lectures for my master’s course in Attachment Theory and… I’m not going to go too much into the logistics of it all…cause I am a little too excited to even be sitting down and writing at the moment…..but I just …
Triggered
Estimated Reading time: 8 min A little catch-up in my story;-) In February 2021 I had been working full time, for just over a month, teaching in the Reception class (with the Lovely Mrs Shawnigan;-) and that was when I started my Compassionate Inquiry studies with Gabor Mate. The world by that point, was slowly …
The Power of Words
Approximate reading time: 12min In 2021 I accepted a job teaching in a reception class for 6 months. Yes, I had previously sworn NEVER EVER to go back into long-term teaching again, (numerous times.) But it was one of those situations where everything just seemed to dam-near perfect. 1. The class was amazingly well-behaved. 2. …
