You look fabulous, Amber! Love the hairdo and face glitter. I know how you look doesn’t always align with how you feel, but it looks like you had fun and that’s something.

I am currently reading No Bad Parts by Richard Schwartz. It’s on Internal Family Systems work (known colloquially as “parts” work). It is helping me realize what my exile and protector parts are and the role they play in illness and recovery. Also good for me to read as I head toward doing therapy and coaching work in the future.

Love this - and love to see your smiling face and awesome glitter!

I’ve wrestled with the question of “is 3 hours on this article worth it” so many times since launching my substack. But like you - the writing is healing for me. I’m obviously thrilled when others read and find it valuable - but even if no one did … the act of writing it out is still incredibly joyful and important. Thank you for articulating that.
