Essay Letter To Son Geoff

Dear Katie,
It was especially exciting for me to meet you and your son Geoff earlier this week. I just dimmed it necessary that I write you and summarize on what you narrated to me during the session.
Katie during our last session, you narrated to me how you son Geoff has been affected by your husband’s death that has seen him go through mood changes and slipping grades in school. You pointed out to me that this is deeply worrying to see as a mother how your son suffer in this way. From the discussions we had together, I could see that this situation was affecting you a lot and from my standpoint it was clear that you are still in grief and have not started healing. From our discussions, I could tell that you are not used to your son being distant and depressed and this makes you feel as if you are fighting this alone. It also makes you feel that you are in an awkward position because your son is suffering and you cannot seem to help him.

From our conversation, I could tell that you are a very warm, caring and loving person and mother especially to your son, Geoff. From my opinion, I thought you are a brave and strong minded person because even though you too are grieving, you were much concerned on the well-being of your son more than anything. What I want you to keep in mind and remember is that you are a great mother filled with compassion and love. Despite all this stressful things happening in your life that may make you feel otherwise such as your mother-in-law saying you are not help at all, remember that all that matters is the love you have for your son, wishing to see him be happy. If you focus on just helping yourself and your son heal, then with time I wonder how this will change your life. Do you

    The hermit set out of camp at midnight, carrying his backpack and his bag of break-in tools, and threaded through the forest, rock to root to rock, every step memorized. Not a boot print left behind. It was cold and nearly moonless, a fine night for a raid, so he hiked about an hour to the Pine Tree summer camp, a few dozen cabins spread along the shoreline of North Pond in central Maine. With an expert twist of a screwdriver, he popped open a door of the dining hall and slipped inside, scanning the pantry shelves with his penlight. Candy!…

    Session five was a big stepping stone for me, I believe I asked questions that guided her and properly validated her feelings, not to mention my powerful use of silence during the whole session. This reflection will shift gears from how I originally lay out my reflections. I usually express the goals I said I would work on and then share the progress I made during the succeeding session. However, I shared my uncertainty about where to take our session after the last one. I believe this doubt helped session five unfold the way it did.…

    Gulliver’s misanthropic attitude continues in his letter to Cousin Sympson. Previously believing that the release of his account of the voyages he experienced would change the world, Gulliver writes to discuss how menial of an effect his recounts have had on society. He makes the claim that the Yahoos of the world have yet to stray from their “false reasonings” (XIV) He states: “The YAHOOS were a species of animals utterly incapable of amendment by precept or example: and so it has proved; for, instead of seeing a full stop put to all abuses and corruptions, at least in this little island, as I had reason to expect; behold, after above six months warning, I cannot learn that my book has produced one single effect according to my intentions”(XIV)…

I grieve the loss of those years with my children but more than that, I grieve my lack of presence. The stress of being a single mom with undiagnosed anxiety and depression reduced my ability to handle normal childhood energy and development. I became an incredibly fearful and strict parent.…
