When we are kids, we know that we're growing. We get taller, we lose teeth, we move onto the next school grade.
As adults, we often feel stuck -- like we're not growing. This simply isn't true. Like kids, we might not feel like we're growing in the ways that we want. Not progressing toward the places we want to go.
Therapy is a helpful resource for taking action. Emotions are not obstacles, but tools for understanding ourselves. The better we understand ourselves, the more effectively we can be.
What I'm reading...
Days at the Morisaki Bookshop
I'm not always reading clinical books. Actually, a big part of my self-care is reading things that have little to do with
therapy. This slim book was a holiday gift and is a translation from Japanese into English. The story of a broken-hearted twentysomething living in the top floor of her uncle's overcrowded
bookshop has a evocative sense of place and is a quick read.
