It’s hard knowing when to listen and when to talk. I can help you or your child with social cues!

Definitely worth trying… I’m a huge fan of journaling.

Very true. Accept the consequences of your actions and show children how to become accountable.

Let your children make mistakes and teach them to reflect, learn and grow.

If milk gets bad, it becomes yogurt. Yogurt is more valuable than milk. If it gets even worse, it turns to cheese. Cheese is more valuable than both yoghurt and milk. And if grape juice turns sour, it transforms into wine, which is even more expensive than grape juice. You are not bad because you made mistakes. Mistakes are the experiences that make you more valuable as a person. Alexander Fleming’s mistake led him to invent Penicillin. Don’t let your mistakes get you down. It is not practice that makes perfect. It is mistakes we learn from that makes perfect!

Take heed! My motto is “be kind to all kind, including yourself”. Teach your children love and compassion for themselves and everyone else. Help them regulate their emotions by regulating your own.

Show your children that you love them regardless of their achievements. Give them attention every day and never expect them to reach out first. You are the parent and adult when your children are of school age. Show them they matter, even when they’re quiet.

Indeed! Never allow a child to feel like they aren’t capable of learning.

Do you need someone to talk to? A safe space to explore your feelings and emotions? Somewhere non-judgemental and confidential? Get in touch today to arrange your free assessment.

HOLIDAYS WITH A NARCISSIST 💔
One of my mother's favorite things to do near the end of her reigning martyrdom, was to play this game of who should I invite to my "first" Holiday Dinner.

She'd already managed to split my stepsisters apart by claiming one said something about the other. Of course we all never just right out asked each other why they said, what we were told they said. We were groomed not to ask.
If Mom wasn't speaking to one of the others then neither can you. That was her game plan.

So she'd do this ridiculous thing with us and have two dinners for different holidays. She made it a game as to who was getting along with whom.

If we didn't have time to be at her dinners due to prior family plans, she'd play us off against each other even more.
We could all come at the same time there was plenty of room, but she did this ridiculous thing as long as she could.

While there if we were at the first dinner and something wasn't done to her expectations, she'd say in disgust, that she hoped that didn't happen with the other sister's dinner.
Of course she'd then play it in reverse for the second round, how nothing like that happened at the first dinner.

It was fexking ridiculous how she played these games.

God forbid you didn't give her a present, even though she stipulated that gifts exchanges were only for the children. That was something I just stopped giving because I was done with the BS of how so and so had given her something actually useful.
Like okay Ma, no matter what you complain. So I decided to play her card and not give anything to her. I spent more on the kids like we were told to do.

Narcissists never let you down when it comes to them being disappointed in you, no matter what you do.

Talking about your life with a trained therapist can help you process what you’ve been through.

Nothing lasts forever, including hard times. Find the glimmers and do things that bring you joy.

Have fun whenever you can. Be safe but fill your time with joy. Enjoy every moment of every day. Do stuff that makes your soul sing. Be kind to everyone, including yourself, every single day. Make having fun a habit.

Don’t hide who you truly are. Be your true authentic self and let your soul glow. Don’t suppress yourself for others.

Let your weird flag fly! 🥰🥰🥰

Crying is an acceptable release from big emotions. Allow your child to cry when they need to. No emotion is unacceptable, how they express their big emotions can be though. It’s preferable to release through tears than express through aggression.

I offer a safe space for children and adults to express and explore their emotions. Get in touch today for your free assessment phone call.

Online and face to face sessions available.

Take as much time as you need. Remember, some people will make excuses for hurting your feelings, rather than apologising. So take as much time as you need to process how you feel. Provide a safe space to explore feelings and emotions.

Emotional trauma can build until it causes physical symptoms. Talk about it to someone you can trust. Talking helps us process trauma. Make talking about feelings and emotions commonplace in your home.
