I was asked to write an article about being disabled and a sewer.
As I wrote about how the fashion industry isn't set up for mobility challenged people I became aware of how much trust I've lost in systems and how developing and creating different ways of doing things is a strength and not a form of weakness where this is the best I'm going to get.
It was really empowering to think that I'm making, admittedly small but helpful changes for the small group of people I make clothes for
The Berenstain Bears books from childhood were a massive portal into loads of different kinds relationship dynamics and empathy - for anyone not familiar, they had all kinds of stories about family, friendships, coaches, bullies, etc I remember how enjoyable and immersive the stories were, and how they introduced so much perspective taking.
I highly recommend reading 'Old Pig' by Margaret Wild. It's a beautiful story about how to say goodbye to a loved one. I can't get through it without crying, but they're good sad tears if that makes sense. Perhaps you could read it on your YouTube channel, it is a picture book and the illustrations are lovely.
I'm a retired mental health therapist here in the states. I still lead three mental health support groups. I have many of my participants who talks about how they watch and binge a lot of video content. I too used this method of reflecting what I find.In what I watch for my own healing. I talked to them about maybe approaching what they watch in the same way.
Recently, I noticed how I resonated with Doctor Robbie from the show, The Pitt. When if first graduated as a master level therapist, I was working at agency where I ended up having the agency fully on my shoulders. I won't go into the whys and hows of how that happened, but it did. As it got worse and worse, I felt like I would cave and have my physical body implode on me. I was suffering equally is horrible in my mental health. , i see, Dr. Robbie heading down the same path. At times i felt that I just wanted to do reach into the t v and try to save him from himself. I was lucky that my GP help me realize how bad it had gotten. He helped me step away and find the help.I needed. It was so bad that live GP. Suggested, I go into an impatient psychiatric facility. I agree.And we crafted my treatment planned from there. Watching Dr. Robbie has help me realize how far I have come and how there is still more to heal. It makes sense. I was diagnosed with PTSD from all that went on. I continue my healing from that time.
Just a side note. My is from the u k. I've been going to him since nineteen ninety four.
I’m a middle school social studies teacher in the US and I currently am reading a book about a technique for teaching social studies that focuses on telling stories as a way to learn history. Your newsletter topic was perfectly timed to my reading. Story telling can help students develop empathy and understanding different points of view… a much needed still in today’s world.
