Extend Compassion To Both Victims & Perpetrators; But Not At The Expense Of Reparations For Victims & Accountability For Perpetrators A few days ago, I posted 23 Ways To Spot Cultic Leaders, and it’s obvious from the almost 400 comments that a lot of people have been hurt by people who abused their power in ways that cause irreparable kinds of harm. I want to start by saying to the victims of cultic leaders- or to anyone who has...

After the first session of an eight week commitment to learning how to effectively communicate with her children - a parent shared this.

She was overwhelmed with feelings and visibly moved as she spoke -

I was deeply touched as I always am by what magic P.E.T. can create and how parents and children re-connect when they use the language of connection that is P.E.T.

How P.E.T. can support you and your family - Nitika's experience.

It isn't rocket science - it's very real, very here and now and very effective - learning effective communication.

It is learning the language of needs, feelings and connection.
You are important and so am I!
Our relationship is important to me.

The Wisdom Of Trauma Trauma is the invisible force that shapes our lives. It shapes the way we live, the way we love and the way we make sense of the world. It is the root of our deepest wounds. Dr. Maté gives us a new vision: a trauma-informed society in which parents, teachers, physicians, policy-makers and legal per...

The question for this one was “Best way to let go of attachment?” ❤️

yep - one of the loveliest, most honest write ups on the subject by a man - halleluja -

"After all of the big things I do to make our life possible ― things I never hear a “thank you” for (and don’t ask for) ― you’re going to elevate a glass by the sink into a marriage problem? I couldn’t be THAT petty if I tried. And I need to dig my heels in on this one. If you want that glass in the dishwasher, put it in there yourself without telling me about it. Otherwise, I’ll put it away when people are coming over, or when I’m done with it. This is a bu****it fight that feels unfair and I’m not just going to bend over for you.”
The man DOES NOT want to divorce his wife because she’s nagging him about the glass thing which he thinks is totally irrational. He wants her to agree with him that when you put life in perspective, a glass being by the sink when no one is going to see it anyway, and the solution takes four seconds, is just not a big problem. She should recognize how petty and meaningless it is in the grand scheme of life, he thinks, and he keeps waiting for her to agree with him.
She will never agree with him, because for her, it’s not ACTUALLY about the glass. The glass situation could be ANY situation in which she feels unappreciated and disrespected by her husband.
The wife doesn’t want to divorce her husband because he leaves used drinking glasses by the sink.
She wants to divorce him because she feels like he doesn’t respect or appreciate her, which suggests he doesn’t love her, and she can’t count on him to be her lifelong partner. She can’t trust him. She can’t be safe with him. Thus, she must leave and find a new situation in which she can feel content and secure."

She Divorced Me Because I Left Dishes By The Sink It wasn’t a big deal to me when I was married. But it was a big deal to her.
