Encouraging CASIGYs

Encouraging CASIGYs (Creative, Aware, Super-sensitive, Intense, Gifted You-s!)

often starts with helping them cope with discouragement, sensitivity, depression or anxiety.
proceeds with helping them heal from the hurts left behind by whatever caused the distress, and
wraps up with helping them discover a sense of positive purpose, develop a vision and finally, fulfill their mission in life.

Featured Quote

A child will integrate only those experiences that her primary care-givers can accept and hold, and will exclude from awareness those thoughts, feelings and behaviors that might disrupt her most crucial attachment relationships. These unacceptable experiences then remain undeveloped, unintegrated, and impossible to verbalize. They become … nearly unreachable places in the psyche that hold implicit experiences of relational trauma.

— Linda Cunningham, Sandplay and the Clinical Relationship
