I used the Good Enough Parent mantra for a long time, and metta ... loving kindness ... they got me through a lot. Felt more real and relevant than the prayers I was taught as a kid. Interesting you also like hypnotherapy @Mazarita I can understand you might find a big personality in your mum overwhelming. I can be like that at times, but mostly I am quiet, does she have a quiet side? Or can she respond without hurt to being quiet for a while . I love you doing walks with no words. My nanna used to hush me up when we went for walks when I was a child, so I learned to listen .... and there is a lot to hear. Mostly I bring up my big verbal personality side to match another persons, or for teaching and concerts. I figure I studied enough so can speak more now.
My son recently travelled from west to east of Melbourne for hynotherapy sessions. He paid for them personally. Proud that he is discerning. Proud he wants to be responsible for his own MH.
He does not like NDIS and what it stands for him as a young man, so though he is entitled, he rejects it. Sadly there is so much he is entitled to that he rejects, (Including school) it became a strong and stubborn streak in him I guess. The stoopid psychologist I had during all this told me my family just wanted to use services ... she did not have a clue. Part of my problem is the failure of the services, past and present, .. I try and be grateful and balanced about it tho.
For me NDIS was wrapped up a bit in dealing with the blow out of sons actions due to his intense BP1 episodes. Partly I was in very desperate circumstances and needed it, but also trying to model for him appropriate interactions and engagement with services. The crisis aspect of his episodes last a while and then there is a sense of winding down. His biggest was 4 years ago, which lasted over a year in the courts, and then 2 smaller ones since.

I tried so hard for all 3 children. It is what it is.
At the moment I am very very tired. It was really lovely to se your post. Gave me a little lift. I do hope you continue to get value in your plan.
Sorry I derailed thread.
This image was in my nanna and brother suicided artwork. Now it is sold as Indian ... but it goes much deeper than National or Religous symbols ... to life ... creation and being human ...
