I had such an amazing weekend! Lately I've been missing all of JP's shows because I've been so busy with fashion related events happening in Calgary. Finally on Saturday I was able to watch him play. I alway love watching him drum. Then on Sunday I hit up the "Take Off Your Clothes" charity clothes swap with KD and some friends. We all left with amazing items. My friend Hayley had the idea to have a styling party, so later Sunday evening Hayley, Mel, Sarah and Mackenzie stopped by my place. We nibbled on strawberry shortcake, sipped wine and gave each other some styling advice for our new swapped items.
Monday I attended a clinical awareness seminar. The focus was on sex addiction, but the speaker, Patrick Carnes, touched on all forms of addiction. I took away so much from the seminar. Here are a few take-aways that stuck with me:
- Addiction increases with availability
- Good therapy happens when you find the holes/contradictions in a story
- As a therapist you help to transform suffering into meaning
- It takes a system to intervene in a system

ReplyDeleteNice photos. I like the spring feel. Your outfit choice matches well with the whole atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit, the leopard top with the long black maxi skirt is really nice. I love the idea of sitting around with girlfriends swapping clothes and tips and eating! Yum.
