In my house they have to at least try it, and if they won’t eat it then they can have dry cereal

I’m still congratulating myself for not immediately running to help a student with a spill during our final session yesterday and just letting them clean it up bc they were very capable of it. The ingrained “I’m supposed to be the helper” mindset is SO hard to unlearn!

That’s very kind of you! We’ve been on the PTSD train since that kid was born, so we have many, many books and about a billion hours of therapy under our belts at this point. But I appreciate the offer! I’ll keep it in mind for when my PhD is done and I have more brain room.

I’m all for supporting thinking over form, but honestly the grammar and spelling and punctuation drive me nuts and I do grade it. I’m so tired of getting essays written in text speak with no capitalization. They need to know that you have to write differently for college than you do for convos

TLDR: I’m still a mess but that’s okay and I appreciate you all. And books soothe the soul.

I’m also grateful for the incredibly compassionate people in this field—every single person who knows what’s up offered hugs, sad eyes, prayers, and honest “How are you”s throughout the weekend.
No callous academics, no “but what about your career?” questions. Just compassion and support. /5

So instead of looking for new course readings or research books in the book hall, this year I dug through the trauma and disability sections to try and find something that would help make sense of the incomprehensible. I’m grateful for the way our field is growing into this important area of study/4

All this is to say: I did a LOT more crying at SBL than anyone knew. I was even hit by a massive wave of grief right before my paper, which wasn’t ideal. I’ve learned that it shows up when it wants whether I like it or not, so I toughed it out and then burst into sobs when I got back to my room /3

In the course of about 10 days, we went from “Wait what?!” to she and I moving to California for months of treatment.
It was…….a lot.
And it’s continued to be a lot since we came home in May. There’s no cure, no medication, only intensive treatment.
And so, so many forms and meetings 🫠 /2
