How to Fight Perfectionism with Gentleness

Body Image· Perfectionism

Searching through the bathroom drawer for an elastic to braid my daughter’s hair, I glance in the mirror without thinking.  Out of habit, I pause to inspect the reflection. My eyes fall first on my waistline, which is thicker than it was six months ago. I turn to the side and stand up tall, ...

What’s Happening Inside Us

Anxiety· Emotions· Parenting· Relationships

When he was two, our son had several episodes where he would simply freeze up and stop responding. Connley would stare at the ground, unmoving for minutes at a time, as if he had checked out of his body, leaving just an empty shell of a boy. Terrified, we would do anything we could think of to ...
