What A Shrink Thinks
Martha Crawford offering workshops, consultations, and essays on dreams,
death, contemplation, community resilience and psychologies of liberation
www.whatashrinkthinks.com
A thread to pin to my feed about the different kinds of work that I do around something central that feels whole to me:
Almost everything is offered on a pay-what-you-can basis
Upcoming events and workshops are a good place to start

This Thanksgiving—observe the National Day of Mourning.
From 1819 to 1969, US Govt stole tens of thousands of Indigenous kids—forcing them to convert to Christianity & stripping them of their identities. Resistance was met with violence. Sexual abuse was rampant.

What are abstract ideas like “being happy” and “having fulfillment” compared to real world achievements like “working full time for a company and still needing food stamps”
While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
