Acceptance

About to jump onto and co facilitate this month's Creative Counsellors Membership Hub  Adhd Autistic Therapist group.

Our subject is Transitions.

And all the tricks and strategies in the world, take 2nd stage to a supportive partner who knows my quirks, and gently ushers me along, lilipadding, with my dinner cooked, a flask of hot tea ready, a bottle of squash prepared, and a smile, nudging me away from my monotropic Art flow, towards my Studio.

We all need support. Not because we are needy or less than, but because we are loved, adored and understood.

I say this as someone with the privilege of a safe relationship. A safe relationship that was found late in Life.

Not to boast or to show off but to say that we should not heal alone. We all need and deserve Love and Safety and it is as beneficial if not more beneficial than Therapy.

I say this as a Therapist.

Acceptance is everything and it being shown by Others*, is priceless.

(*Others includes Family, Friends, Community and pets)
