I’m so engaged in this free online course through Coursera ... what are you doing in preparation for #TruthAndReconciliationDay this year?

Studying the Foundations of Narrative Therapy with Stephen Madigan, Todd May, and Rock Nylund this weekend. Fascinating theory! I’m excited for my clients and I to experience a broader depth and exploration of the narrative framework in practice.

Love is that condition in the human spirit so profound that it empowers us to develop courage; to trust that courage and build bridges with it; to trust those bridges and cross over them so we can attempt to reach each other. #MayaAngelou

" For generations, we have seen depression as an illness, an unnecessary deviation from normal functioning. It’s an idea that makes sense because depression causes suffering and even death. But what if we’ve got it all wrong? What if depression is not an aberration at all, but an important part of our biological defense system?
