  • Grand Schemes vs Actual Scenes

    December 7, 2023

  • Mirror, Mirror on the Wall is the HRT Working After All?

    October 26, 2023

    I was lucky enough to have a counselling session the morning after I ended my last post and I was back in what I like to call my “sane mind.” I could think more clearly and went into the session with the aim of getting some ideas and techniques I could practice…

  • Chaos, Tears, Self-Imposed ‘Shoulds and The Unwelcome Return of Auntie Flo

    October 19, 2023
