I really enjoyed David Brooks' How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen. Here's an excerpt:

"Repressing my own feelings became my default mode for moving through the world. I suppose I was driven by the usual causes: fear of intimacy; an intuition that if I really let my feelings flow, I wouldn’t like what bubbled up; a fear of vulnerability; and a general social ineptitude.

But over the years I came to realize that living in a detached way is, in fact, a withdrawal from life, an estrangement not just from other people but from yourself."

We invite you to our online Neufeld Institute Conference 2024! Our theme this year is The Current Crisis of Well-Being: what's happening to our kids? Registration is now open and early bird pricing is in effect.

What's happening to our kids? How is it that, in this time of relative prosperity, with children being more educated than ever, with knowledge now at our fingertips, children are becoming increasingly more troubled? How is it that, in an age when children are finally being seen and heard, when parenting is more child-centred than ever, when schools are finally prioritizing the well-being of children, their suffering is increasing? We have never had more mental health professionals, more advocacy and literacy around mental health, or more mental health services available to us. What are we missing here?! Do we just need to try harder with what we are doing, or do we need to rethink the problem and change our approach?

In this year's conference, we will unravel this alarming epidemic, tracing the symptoms back to their developmental roots. Only when we understand how troubles evolve can we even begin to hope to address their roots, whether it is individually or societally. We have largely been battling against symptoms with little insight to guide us, led by the prevailing doctrine of disorder paradigm and its league of practitioners. The battle has been earnest but has nevertheless proven futile in stemming the tide of unwellness. Never has a fresh new approach to mental health been more needed.
