I'm at the point in #canthurtme when Goggins has just shouted at me for being overweight and unhealthy. And now I'm going to the gym in the morning.

Only read 2 of them though. Had to take the rest back in shame

We need to start calling "affluent neglect" what it actually is...
Emotional neglect
Emotional abuse
Supervisory neglect
Professionalisation childcare.

It screws up kids.

I wrote a letter to all my #TCK young people in this new book. Thank you all for trusting me with your stories. Letters Now Sent is available now from Amazon. #schoolcounsellor

Someone at work told me today I should be talking about "neglect in affluent settings" instead of "neglect in affluent families". Screw that. We need to position the problem exactly where it is - in the families.

Emotional neglect includes:
Dismissal of emotional & mental health needs, not being there for children, unattainable parental expectations, leaving kids in the care of nannies & drivers, leaving kids alone in the house foe long periods of time...

Supposed to be reading for my doctorate and 'accidentally' take 5 books out the school library...

‘The key is to create a situation where parents can reflect and learn about the problem without feeling attacked': a pastoral coordinator explains how to approach the difficult topic of affluent neglect

My course leader just instructed us all to do research profiles. So hello!

Heartbreak season is officially here. I remember being dumped by my first boyfriend at 15, after about 8 months and lying wailing on the floor for days before my mam kicked me and told me I had to go back to school. We got back together 2 days later. My poor mam 😄

Signs of ovarian cancer that I thought were something else:
1. Bad back (blamed on mattress)
2. Heavy, blood-clotted periods (blamed on perimenopause)
3. Needing the toilet all the time (blamed on age)
4. Weight gain (blamed on perimenopause/laziness)

Who knew the REAL East Coast vs West Coast Rap Beef would be between Flavor Flav & Snoop Dogg for the role "America's Sweetheart"

I've had a crazy old year. Went from self employed to back to school counselling, got married, diagnosed with ovarian cancer & now recovering from surgery. Thankfully they got it all, so NFA needed. Last year I had Denge Fever & all my hair dropped out... I wonder what will try to kill me in 2025 😆

I quit the other platform about 10 years ago when it started to go really dark. Hoping this one is more like it used to be. Hello everyone
