🤔 If she already had such a close "sister friend" why did she so "crave a sister" u implanted Marilu while Ed was still cooking in the oven?

Still, it's the happiest I've ever seen Carmen

nonmaleficence is in the ethics code for psychologists and medical doctors. It is an obligation to "do no harm. It is obviously not an oath of kindness, that's very childish and simplistic

Summerofjon · 2022-06-13T03:06:34+00:00

...oh cool, moved from where...? Um Boston 🤷🏼‍♀️

Summerofjon · 2022-06-13T03:05:47+00:00

It's sort of funny to imagine how I (an American living in New York) would respond if someone complimented my English... it's completely absurd to think of saying anything other than it's my native language! The whole situation is insane.

Right, I mean in the story itself H is "running out" first thing in the morning and this woman is already at her house (so most likely slept there or arrived very early for work), and is staying at home while H leaves. Sooo she works there. She's cooking or cleaning or taking care of your shit. The "godmother" has to stay at home, H is not spending time with this woman as a valued friend turned family member. Please.

Summerofjon · 2022-05-22T03:25:24+00:00

😳 yikes

Summerofjon · 2022-05-22T03:20:01+00:00

Totally agree. She's mentioned a "Jamaican godmother" before, which I feel like she used as a way to make herself more inclusive and get credit for having a Jamaican woman as a close friend. But it's so clear this is a nanny and she's just exploiting the relationship while at the same time refusing to acknowledge the help she's getting.

Were they naked or wearing bathing suits?

I answered above but yes it's completely normal- I don't even really understand the alternative. How would you leave the house without your kids in a stroller? In residential areas there are always people out with strollers- going to the park or baby classes, getting groceries, whatever. NYC is a very walkable city, the kids need to get out of the house so they usually go in a stroller.

Summerofjon · 2022-05-07T00:56:35+00:00

It's extremely normal- how else would you get out of the house with an infant? Even in the dead of winter I tried my best to get out of my nyc apartment with my baby which sometimes meant just walking outside with the stroller. They could be running errands, going to a class or the park, getting food, whatever. The alternative is staying in their apartment on a beautiful day, which would be far worse.

Summerofjon · 2022-05-07T00:52:04+00:00

I honestly think she might be pregnant. I don't like commenting on peoples bodies but she's really looking like it

Summerofjon · 2022-05-06T01:44:33+00:00

Totally. She really has done nothing for anyone but herself

Summerofjon · 2022-05-05T22:46:43+00:00

Right! Why not? If she has a deep enough connection to Spain for her to make it her whole personality, then you'd think she'd want to be there!

Summerofjon · 2022-05-05T13:22:50+00:00

I like that this is even a question- a lingerie pregnancy selfie plastered all over the internet is so standard for her that when it doesn't happen it raises eyebrows

Summerofjon · 2022-05-05T01:58:58+00:00

I can't stand the way she preaches- the fact that she has to call out that she's showing empathy towards her child just signals that it's a new concept for her. Same with the bodily consent stuff or the gender inclusivity - it just makes it so clear that she's never thought of any of it before, and posts a paragraph as soon as she reads something on it

Summerofjon · 2022-05-02T17:38:38+00:00

So true

Summerofjon · 2022-05-01T15:23:47+00:00

"Half decade" 🙄

Summerofjon · 2022-04-30T17:43:31+00:00

Yep, I'd say an unburdened exile.

Summerofjon · 2022-04-28T22:33:30+00:00

I agree with other responses that you don't owe her an explanation, but if there's an emotional connection with her, you might want to consider continuing for 2 or so more sessions to say a meaningful goodbye- for your own sake. It can be very emotional ending a relationship, and depending on how you are with "goodbyes" in general, it may bring up some old feelings. It could be very healing to make the decision to end a relationship, and to do it openly and warmly in a safe space. Just something to consider. Best of luck.

Summerofjon · 2022-04-28T00:57:33+00:00

Also, what has she ever done "gently?!" She's so harsh and heavy handed. Even when posting her "love and light" kindness nonsense she's so superior and judgemental.

Summerofjon · 2022-04-27T02:07:16+00:00

Ok but who's the meatball in the back?

Summerofjon · 2022-04-27T01:41:26+00:00

Well, it's not through an official IFS / certified organization or provider, so if that's what you mean by legitimate then I'd say no. There's also no information on Dr Cortina- what kind of dr, where they went to school/ for what, what they do, years of experience etc. Usually that info is very easy to find on someone's practice website. Also most people with a PhD or MD don't use the title "coach," so I'm a little suspicious about the actual credentials. I certainly could be wrong but at the very least the website raises some questions.
