Supporting You in Your Desire to Change
by Michael Feeley
How well do you recognize the life you are living right now? Not the life you’re planning or imagining. This one. The one you woke up in this morning. Look at it directly, seriously, intimately. Where you live, who you love, how you spend your hours, what you’ve learned the hard way. Look at the […]

When I was in school, a couple of teachers tried to draw me out. They asked questions with no right answer waiting at the back of the book. “What do you think?” they’d ask. And I froze. I was too afraid of being wrong, looking stupid, too afraid of criticism. So I memorized, repeated it […]

When I first started writing about bearing witness, I wrote it as bare witness. I’m not alone. These two words sound exactly the same, and they trip up lots of us. They mean very different things. Bare means uncovered. Bare feet. A bare wall. The bare truth. The bare minimum. To bare something is to […]

The Polite Door – The world has a polite way of showing older people the door. “You’ve earned it. Time to relax. Enjoy your retirement.” It sounds kind. Sometimes it is. But too often it carries a second meaning: Step aside. Get out of the way. Your time is over. For years I worked as […]

There’s a puzzle scientists have been studying for years. They call it the Paradox of Ageing. It observes that despite the physical, cognitive, and social challenges that are typically associated with getting older, maturing adults often report higher levels of emotional well-being, life satisfaction, and happiness than younger adults. Our bodies slow down. Our knees […]

I’ve been thinking about a phrase I just learned: emotional regulation. It’s new to me, but the idea isn’t. Most of us have spent our lives practicing it without calling it anything. Here’s what it means to me. Something happens, a feeling rises, and then there’s a small space before I act. Emotional regulation is […]

When I left a job years ago, a lawyer’s letter followed me. It spelled out, in careful detail, everything I could not do and what would happen to me if I did. I’ll admit it shook me up. I felt afraid and weak. That was the point. Letters like that are meant to intimidate, bully, […]
