Hi!
Since yesterday I have been watching YouTube videos featuring Dr. Shefali Tsabary, who is a family psychologist…and she blows my mind. It is like the universe is pulling no punches whatsoever. The Impact Theory video where Tom interviews her popped up in a long line of Mel Robbins recommendations (I still love listening to Mel when I need a butt kick) and as I had never heard of Dr Tsabary, I clicked through…
I do feel that there is an impish spirit that likes guiding me around the internet. I spotted Hubby’s profile on a dating site’s match list 13 years ago, but only the once – after the site had randomly reset some of my search criteria for me – let’s not forget 😉
I have also received my updated version of Raising Boys by Steve Biddulph (another family psychologist) in the post today (a well-timed ad on Facebook led to that purchase!), so expect some ponderances on parenting over the next wee while!
My journal prompt for today asked me to think about what I love to do, and I answered ‘reading and learning’, so it all fits in nicely.
The poem below is a partial digest of my watching Lewis Howes’ interview with the good Dr T.
My words came to me in the shower, then were scribbled hastily before I did the school run!
All of these ancestors
Spinning in their graves,
Light years away
But still you’re their slave.
We talk all this up
As if walking out is bad,
Proffering hymn sheets
Declaring God is sad.
Reality’s distorted
And still we’re running scared,
Our children are floundering
And wholly unprepared
For the barrage of dogma
That we all see fit to preach.
(As if we are the experts
And kids aren’t here to teach…)
I think I will probably lengthen and tweak this a bit as I get deeper into my study of my chosen psychologists’ wisdom. Gotta love a bit of therapy from the comfort of your own home, eh?! Totally fascinating 🙂
