⏮What Yesterday Looked Like.⏮
Yesterday I took my dementing Mum to the Royal Free for her final appointment. It was a bit emotional really, because we said goodbye to a neurologist who got his head around her bizarre dementedness and agreed on a diagnosis I had flagged up almost 2 years earlier. He’d been super helpful and written a […]
When a Family Member Goes into Care
This is a bit of a random post for my blog but I felt it was too important to keep to myself…. ➡️ Have you got a dementing one or did you have one until the past?⬅️ If so, I might have discovered something important. (Apologies if you already know about it – I literally […]
🍋Tales of Further Lemons
On Monday evening we had to take the dementing ones cat to the vet. The cat had been poorly a while but the dementing one was not really acknowledging it. On the way there, my sister’s social worked called me. She told me that there has been a whistle blowing incident at my sisters care […]
What Professionalism Means to Me in the World of NLP
I know that NLP is a flaky business. I think everyone who is a professional in the industry knows that too. But I come from a litigious background and I’m used to completing paperwork. Lots of it. I didn’t think it was going to be that way in the beginning – when I became a […]
Banana Man
When my Dad died, I had to go through probate which, if you don’t know, is a court order that allows you to wrap up the affairs of a loved one who has passed away. Along with planning a funeral, this was a brand new experience to me. I strongly disliked the pace with which […]
❤️ HOW TO DO DATING ❤️
I was recently dating someone. I say dating, it was like having a friend who you wasn’t really sure was in to you or not. Come to think of it, it would be unfair to call it dating. It was probably better termed as ‘confusion’. In the confusion, I’d actually come to like said person. […]
Fun Elm
My experience with Dun Elm (which ironically my phone autocorrects to to ‘Fun Elm’) caused a whole series of other unwanted dramas. I’m hoping Karma is going to balance this one out for me. Even though I don’t believe in it. I sometimes go to Bulgaria where I have an apartment. I’ve had the place […]
The Happiness in Being Strangled
Before I became a spotty teenager, my sister knew who I was. You could tell because she would pull my hair and try to strangle me, just like any loving sister. When she was taken into care and was hidden away in an old castle on a mountain in Wales (that’s what they used to […]
Becoming Bulgarian
You know when you get a bee in your bonnet and then you can’t focus really on anything else until you do something with that bee? Well this is me addressing a bee. I’ve been reflecting on the last 12 months and how it has affected my mentality. Who I am now, because of this […]
The Events That Have Made Me Selfish
A few weeks back I posted this on Facebook as I wanted to share an update about what has been going on in the background in my life: https://www.facebook.com/HypnoGem/posts/10154545707550989 As you can imagine I’m very happy that this chapter is over and I can now get on with providing more of the support side of the […]
