There is a time for fluidity, rigidity and judgment. My preference depends on my relative position and where I want to move to next.

Love and inclusion... Even for that which I am afraid of, ashamed of, or that which I must stand up to.

I don't have enough experience with therapy to know. If I were a therapist I would imagine I'd need a unique approach for every individual and it would depend on whether the approach added value.

I'll sit with you in the dark. You don't have to say anything
Thanks fern
