do you ever feel like you’re going through your days, and they have a theme? sometimes it feels like i’m being approached by a waiter: “and today’s special is …”
well, my special this week seems to be abilities, disabilities, different abilities – that whole box of themes.
it started with the ongoing story of paul […]

trying.
allowing.
what might they mean?
of course words have such complex meanings, and how we experience them individually may vary immensely from person to person.

an important topic, and we’ll be paying some more attention to it here at change therapy.
among […]
