You cannot save anyone. You can be present with them, offer your groundedness, your sanity, your peace. You can even share your path with them, offer your perspective. But you cannot take away their pain. You cannot walk their path for them. You cannot give answers that are right for them, or even answers they can digest right now. They will have to find their own answers. ~Jeff Foster

ALAMFT Enrichment Series: Maladaptive Fawning, Masking, & Manipulation: A Neuroaffirming Systemic Perspective on Healing & Forming Authentic Relationships
Only a couple days left to register for this webinar for 3 CEs! 8:30-11:30 am Central Time Friday, December 12th.
During this event, we will explore an ethical and clinical approach to working with neurodivergent families. By examining a range of case studies, participants will strive to incorporate dual empathy into neuroaffirming ethical case conceptualization and clinical applications for neuroaffirmative practices across the lifespan. Specifically, the session will focus on the intergenerational interaction patterns and perspectives on maladaptive fawning, masking, and manipulation with the goal of supporting the system as they transition into forming authentic, securely attached relationships.

In this beautifully written Idea, the clinical psychologist Eric Jannazzo reflects on what it truly means to exist and to die. By seeing ourselves not as static nouns, but as unfolding processes, we can soften the sharp edges of existential fear and embrace life’s constant becoming.⁠ This piece invites us to rethink our relationship with mortality, growth, and the self. It’s a reminder that who we are isn’t a fixed point, it’s every choice, every feeling, and every moment of transformation.⁠ https://psyche.co/ideas/the-existential-balm-of-seeing-yourself-as-a-verb-not-a-noun
