The Stories We Tell Ourselves

The Stories We Tell Ourselves - Emotional Regulation My first grade year was the first time in my life I felt understood. I loved everything about school. The snacks, the smell of mimeographed worksheets, learning how to read and write, the playground, and most of all, I loved my teacher Mrs. King. She was the first adult I ever met who loved me back. As the school year drew to a close, I overheard my parents talking in the den. “I can’t stand the other second-grade teachers,” my mother...

A Critique of the FrameWorks Institute's brief, Reframing Childhood Adversity: Promoting Upstream Approaches

If you read the following seventeen excerpts from the brief they give the impression that child abuse only happens in low income and marginalized communities. I don't think this is helpful. Doesn't unsupportive and harmful parenting happen at all income levels? Consider Dr. Gregory Williams' book, Shattered by the Darkness, and Marilyn Van Derbur's book, Miss America by Day, and Mary Trump's book about the former president.

Juvenile Justice Is Smaller, but More Unequal, After First Year of COVID-19 [aecf.org]

By The Annie E. Casey Foundation, March 8, 2021 A year after the coronavirus pandemic began, the Annie E. Casey Foundation finds that a historic drop in the size of the youth detention population at the beginning of 2020 did nothing to reduce the already huge racial and ethnic disparities in who gets detained, despite the health concerns of confinement during the pandemic and a national reckoning about racial justice. In fact, the overrepresentation of Black and Latino youth in detention was...

Only Your Boss Can Cure Your Burnout [theatlantic.com]

By Olga Khazan, The Atlantic, March 12, 2021 I n the early 1970s, a psychoanalyst named Herbert J. Freudenberger opened a free clinic to treat poor patients in New York City.

He seemed to realize that he was overcommitting. “You start your second job when most people go home,” Freudenberger wrote at one point.
