🧭 Last week I had the pleasure of sharing my passion for working with adoptees with the clinicians at This 1.5 hour workshop "Therapy with Adoptees: A Clincal Compass" offers an overview of common presenting issues & resources across the lifespan.

🧭 If your interested in this workshop for your agency or practice, visit my website: adult-adoptees.com or email me: amygellerlcsw

Today is International Survivors of Su***de Loss Day, also known as 💙

For survivors of su***de loss, there is a unique and powerful comfort that may be gained by being in the presence of others who have experienced this complex type of loss. 🫂✨

Today, in-person events are taking place around the world, bringing su***de loss survivors together to gain understanding and support each other’s healing journeys. Some people attend every year as a way of honoring their loved one, checking in with themselves, and healthily recognizing the way their feelings evolve over time.

Join us today at 7pm EST for Live or find an event near you at afsp.org/survivorday

Asking them to “let you know what they need” adds yet another layer of responsibility: one more decision, one more message, one more emotional effort. Most of the time, they don’t even know what they need, let alone be able to ask for it. Real kindness moves without being prompted. It shows up gently, in the quiet ways that say: “you’re not alone and you don’t need to be okay for me to stay.” 💛

This weekend I had the privilege to be in retreat community with fellow adopted, donor conceived & non-parent expected people. At the beginning of the session I facilitated on boundaries for our intersecting identities, I asked participants to describe in one word what brought them to the retreat. This is what they said ...
