Just To-Doodlin

Posted on by janet.forelo
I used to doodle all the time before I got too serious for my own good. I feel like this part of me went dormant after high school and I had to “adult”. I don’t participate enough in my own creative process because I prioritize perfectionism and outcome and “product” instead of simply responding to my feelings in a timely, neutral way and allowing space and time and non-judgment through expression. So here is a silly helpful thing on the back a to-do list.

Conflict as Opportunities for Increased Intimacy

Dear people pleasers, conflict can be an opportunity for increased intimacy.
If you’re always walking on eggshells, you’ll never get to dance.

Good Therapy

Posted on by janet.forelo

I’m writing poetry again. I love the magic of healing. It’s so wonderful to become myself.

This one goes out to my therapist who has MORE than helped me on this journey.

“Good Therapy”
I’m grateful for good therapy.
I have someone wounded
Sharing her salve with me.
She’s traveled beneath the ocean
To give me fresh water.
She has light in her eyes
That only comes from cheating death.
A phoenix guides my rebirth
To who I always was.
