Recognising others’ issues
The more we fail to understand what we struggle with, the more we will fail to understand what others struggle with too.
It’s far easier to know how to help others than it is to help ourselves, unless of course we have no idea how to help ourselves. Issues always seem simpler in other people’s eyes, just like other people’s …

My Spina Bifida diagnosis
Not only am I living under a continual cloud around my health issues, now having looked through my medical notes again, although I initially dismissed having Spina Bifida because it wasn’t an obvious diagnosis and the conversation was between the Specialist and my father, my medical notes clearly state that at the age of 14 in 1977, the Specialist confirmed that in fact that is what I had.

Closure on particular issues
It is truly a revelation when we can see and understand how and why we get to a particular place; where we can see and understand exactly what’s happened and we know there’s nothing we could have done about it.

Unlocking our thinking
Words can unlock our thinking but we either spend a life disengaging, or engaging, reacting inappropriately, get that wrong, then disengage again.
