- In Regulation Matters, the online, on-demand version, Kim spoke about how as a junior therapist she would have feelings of never being good enough (one that never completely goes away!). She would always come armed with lists of all the activities for the session, and being able to check off the lists - and then remembered the moment of realizing she was so fixated in her cognition of the analysis, that she was no longer present to the child in front of her.

💡It is the state of presence that is the power of the influence over the system and the modification of all the functions that help us to feel in relationship in this world.
The only person you can only change is yourself.
The more that I come home to me, the more that I am able to be of this backdrop influence, irrespective of all of my cognitive knowledge.

I bet you don’t notice, all around,
The chitter chatter, the beautiful sound
Of voices young, of voices old,
All with a story that needs to be told.
Just listen for a moment to every word.
Everyone deserves their voice to be heard.
For some of us struggle to have our say,
Our sounds get lost, they go astray.
We can only imagine, we have no choice,
But to dream one day we’ll have a voice.
A voice that’s confident, loud and bold,
To ensure that our story will be told.
Never take for granted the gift of speech,
That for you is natural, no need to teach.
‘Cos some of us fight every single day
To find our voice, to have our say.
Take time to listen to the beautiful sound,
Of the chitter chatter that’s all around.
