Maybe we could help by encouraging teenagers to have some understanding of where adults in their lives are coming from. I know that teen brains haven’t finished developing but empathy can be developed at early ages.

So true 👌🏻👏🏻

Keep your head up high! You are loved from both inside and out

Hi Reg, Thanks for sharing. I hear your pain. It's not too late to heal! I am 57 and damaged from family abuse and ridicule too. Hwvr, I healed and reclaimed personal agency over the last 7 years through a looking at, some counselling and studying studied "Somatic Experiencing." Please consider opening to possibility. You are a phoenix to me, give yourself a chance to bring it conscious. You have a right to find a safe non-threating way to heal.

It’s never to late to start - you can change that ⚠️

My best advise is to give to others. I know that sounds like it’s ‘straight outta California’ but there’s a lot of science to support it. Volunteer. Support. Nurture. For a start you will meet more compassionate people to bond with…

Check out the Personal Development School. She has a UKposts channel. I realized I had fearful avoidant attachment style. You can identify your core wounds, reprogram your subconscious programming...and therefore be empowered to change the narratives (lenses) in which you see yourself and the world. It’s so amazing & empowering. It is hard work, and I have to take breaks sometimes. Sometimes I stagnate, or backslide a little...but I’m so much farther along then when I started. I’d done tons of therapy, but nothing gave me the tools like this has. I’m currently working with a fantastic attachment theory informed therapist. Found her recently and it’s complementary to what I’m doing on my own. A good therapist is hard to find though. I’ve started doing some simple art work too, that is meant for expressing things that can’t be expressed verbally. The point isn’t to have a masterpiece, or be judgmental to self...but that they are about 5-10 minutes, intuitive, and just losing oneself in the moment. Initially i was a little dismissive, but wow...it’s powerful. It seems to tap into the non-verbal brain, and other things that need attention and processing. My heart goes out to you. I wish for you deep healing, hope, and renewal. You are worthy 💫

Hi I I

Hi

And we all know how everyone feels about improv. 🙄

It was grating.

Was wondering the same thing? Too bad we couldn’t see the room!

Found this in a transcript of a different talk: "Right on top. That’s about three-quarters of people are that way, independent of handedness. It’s so interesting. We don’t know why. One quarter is left on top."

Hm. I like it 🙂 it feed relational and humorous to me, maybe that’s got something to do with my ‘ADD’ brain

I agree. This seems like complete bullshit.

But this is Dan (not David) Siegel.
