I'm a third of the way through a 12-hour online conference: "The Future of the Person-Centred Approach: How to Serve a Changing World" and it's been by turns intense, dull and fascinating. A bit hard for my ADHD to maintain focus when people are rambling, despite being totally focused on another person is what I do for a living (or perhaps because of ?)
Reading via Amazon Prime subscription. There are lots of neurodivergent people in the family including my two young people. One seems sensory seeking and the other is avoidant and their sensory processing seems very easily overloaded.
The writing style on this is a bit clunky to me, but no matter as interested in what the author had to say.
I‘ve been listening to this audiobook & it made me think of the Destiny‘s Child song “Survivor”.

pickFascinating and insightful.
“As we collectively come to understand just what verbal abuse is and how it impacts humanity, we will have a healthier world... For example, a dictator using verbally abusive and controlling behavior could not rise to power if most who witnessed verbal abuse recognized it for what it is!“

Not the best brain book I‘ve read recently. Not the best book about dreams I‘ve read. I feel like the author might be trying to dumb down the info and the writing is boring.
so-soI have mixed feelings about this book. The author admits in the new preface that many terms used are no longer generally accepted and many patient descriptors are far from nuanced. While his attempts to humanize individuals who society and medicine tend to disregard are admirable, most profiles are simply a collection of observations and anecdotes, rarely providing any professional or psychological analysis or interpretation.
pickThis is really far out of my usual wheelhouse, but my spiritual director recommended it, and a good friend has talked with me a lot about the polyvagal work she‘s doing with her therapist, so it intrigued me. It turned out to be a helpful read for me—there‘s a LOT that made sense and gave me better insight into my stress responses. The book is probably 40-50% info, and 50-60% exercises—what she calls “explorations.” The info parts required ⤵️
Nobody's tried to sell me a book ... yet! 5d
