Greetings Ego State Therapy colleagues and friends,
I hope this finds you well, and I wish you much peace as we progress into the holiday season.
Here in the U.S., we just celebrated Thanksgiving, and with all that is going on in the world, I just want to say how grateful I am to the compassionate worldwide community we have in Ego State Therapy International. I am not sure if Mr. Rogers (a famous child television host, author, and producer) is known worldwide, but I often repeat what he would share during times of tragedy and terror to comfort kids, “Focus on the helpers”. By focusing on the helpers, we see how people come together, provide help, support, and comfort to those who are hurting. Additionally, focusing on the ‘helpers’ often provides us with a sense of hope and reminds us of the beauty that still exists within humanity.
Thank you to all the ‘helpers’ reading this issue. You are that sense of hope for so many.
Thank you also to those who submitted contributions for this issue. I know it is a busy time, and it is challenging to get them in, but the community likes to know what is happening worldwide. If you missed this issue, please consider collecting information to submit for the next one. Future submissions should be sent to me at wendylemkelp@gmail.com and/or my assistant at vicki@wendylemke-psy.com.
With Gratitude,
Wendy Lemke, MS LP
