Wired for Connection - The...

Carolyn Klassen

Wired for Connection are the lessons clients taught a therapist over a career about love, courage, vulnerability, shame and authenticity
Therapists learn and grow from therapy with clients--and now you can too!
Carolyn graduated from counselling school with a ton of head knowledge. Carolyn read 1000’s of pages and written hundreds more and learned the models and the approaches in the books. Did this therapist know enough to actually help people?
Turns out she didn’t.
That’s where her clients come in. They taught her about life, about therapy, and about relationships.
So much of what clients taught her was paradoxical. Actually, they didn’t teach her—the most important lessons in life are better caught than taught. The lessons were counterintuitive to conventional relationship wisdom.
Together they learned the way to real relationships was messiness, mistakes and discomfort. They noticed the route to acceptance was authenticity, that tears make life better, and that raw courage is often about tender things like saying, “I’m sorry” and “I love you”. And so much more.
Relationships are hard—but we are wired for them. We are wired for struggle and growth. Watching people struggle with their own lives has inspired her to struggle and grow in hers.
Relationships are hard for us all. But if we show up to connect, and we do it anything like right, we learn from each other. We learn from each other in ways that surprise and delight us.
We are wired for connection.

The Myths of Creation - Stories...

Odessa Nightshade

The story of creation is one of the most profound and enduring themes in human history. Across every culture and civilization, humanity has sought to understand its place in the cosmos by asking the same timeless questions: Where did the world come from? How were humans formed? What forces or beings shaped the universe? The answers to these questions, though infinitely varied, have been passed down through myths—narratives that blend imagination, culture, and spirituality to explain the mysteries of existence.
Creation myths are more than just stories; they are reflections of how humans see themselves and their relationship to the universe. Some cultures envision a creator as a benevolent being bringing life into existence through love and care, while others see the world as the result of chaos, conflict, or sacrifice. Some myths place the origin of the cosmos in an act of divine speech, a sacred breath, or the unfolding of an egg, while others suggest that the universe emerged accidentally, out of chaos or chance. These narratives often reflect the values, fears, and aspirations of the societies that tell them, offering a glimpse into their worldview and the way they interpret their surroundings.
Despite their differences, creation myths share common themes that highlight the universal nature of human curiosity and imagination. The struggle between order and chaos, the role of divine beings, the cycle of creation and destruction—these motifs appear repeatedly, connecting disparate cultures in their quest to explain the unknown. Whether told by the ancient Greeks, the Norse, the Hindus, or the Aztecs, these stories often reveal a shared longing to make sense of existence, to explain the unexplainable, and to give meaning to life’s beginnings.
