There is a different sort of environment here that invites this type of thought and conversation.<br /><br />Rachel,<br /><br />Experience is what teaches us how to deal with things, or so it seems to me.<br /><br />TD,<br /><br />Lots of good comments/questions. I spose that there are a few people out there who have lives that I would trade for, but only a few. The song is right, "it don't come easy" but if it did would we enjoy it as much.Jack Steinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16625864271071630940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082887.post-24197746416082198002010-05-02T00:05:32.348-07:002010-05-02T00:05:32.348-07:00Such a great post.

Fact is, not everyone does, but would you trade places?<br /><br />And isn't there a song with the line, "ya know it don't come easy?" or is that in the behind blue eyes song? Cuz it don't for everyone. Chaval. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger? Yes. And no.therapydochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05088184676439578876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082887.post-36054432036097100222010-05-01T07:54:21.794-07:002010-05-01T07:54:21.794-07:00This is a really interesting read.

I know what you mean about drawing on some of life's harder experiences for inspiration, I have to do this when I'm writing certain scenes.Rachel Cotterillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08969719330048416996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082887.post-73779059759350903562010-04-30T19:35:08.858-07:002010-04-30T19:35:08.858-07:00Reading blogs has done more for building my empath...Reading blogs has done more for building my empathy, compassion, and understand that we all struggle than years of therapy has. I think there's honesty here that is too intense for "real life" conversations. <br /><br />As for coping skills, still working on those, though it helps that we spend lots of time with a behavioral therapist for my son.
