hey! i have a goodreads list here with the books i’ve read on emotional healing and growth. part of healing from heartbreak is letting the feelings illuminate older wounds and patterns – seeing what’s potentially complicating your feelings. it might be helpful to read diversely.

also, this might just be because i’m the corniest, but sometimes corny things have grains of truth! also, sometimes we use the idea of corny to push away things that are uncomfortable for us. be curious to your reactions: this is a period where you can learn so much about yourself!

some specific recommendations:

rewriting the rules by meg john barker has a really balanced and open understanding of conflict and shifting relationships

attachment theory can be helpful to understand the biological/physiological aspects of heartbreak

for distress tolerance, centering, and day-to-day coping, i find dbt the most useful

for working through any thoughts of self-doubt/rejection, i would draw on self-compassion (kristin neff’s work is great!)

Arts and Craft: Celia Pym’s Darned Sweaters

Check out this cool Norwegian sweater, which is a finalist in the Loewe Foundation Craft Prize competition and on display in New York’s Chamber Gallery. I noticed it on art critic Black Gopnik’s blog. Gopnik writes:

The British artist Celia Pym has taken a decrepit old Norwegian sweater and darned it back into useable shape. It escapes the tired old idea that craft has to be about fancily made fancy things, which still governs a shocking number of objects in the Loewe show. Pym’s darning is indeed done by hand, so it speaks to the craft tradition, but it is more about function and meaning and feeling than technique.
