Welcome to Litsy!

Sounds like a great hack to me!

I was hoping to get to understand the deep emotions of women who love too much and why they feel more deeply than others but the focus of this book was only on women who had an abusive relationship with their parents and especially alcoholism was the center of this book, and that wasn‘t what I expected from this book, neither did it gave me the explanation I am still craving so much. The stories of those women were still interesting and deep tho.

A gift from a friend. “When a friend says, I want to send you a gift, don‘t protest! Just let ‘em!” (I have no idea if that is a good example of what I will learn in this book, but I do respect when a friend wants to give, then embrace the sentiment and allow the joy of receiving.) Thank You, NeEtta! And don‘t let anyone tell you how you are supposed to feel, how you are supposed to grieve, how you need to care for your family 💖 Ignore them?

Audiobook pick:
This book is amazing!! If you haven't read this, you really should. The audiobook was narrated by the author and it was well done.

Surprise! Surprise! I am a bibliophile Clinical Psychologist, starting a Bibliotherapy group with some of my clients, reading and discussing this book them. How fitting for the #mentalhealth prompt today. #Julyjazz

This was not it for my anxious mind. I think this would be better for someone in their early twenties or even teenagers who struggle with negative self image. I did like the takeaway the idea of: when your creative brain takes you on the familiar negative thoughts, start thinking of the good and create a neuro pathway that can be worn well to eventually overtake the negative thoughts. Practice makes perfect in our minds too.
