The Unspoken Process
Mindy Friedman, LCSW
I’m calling the deeper exploration of self the second stage because it takes longer and gets the person farther than stabilization, but in truth, it starts immediately, at the start of therapy.
This is a stage of increased insight. Our internal worlds are very complex, and we only have some knowledge of what we hold inside. Our brains filter our awareness so we can contain our thoughts and feelings. Whatever feels too much stays in the subconscious. Without access to them, we often don’t understand why we struggle with certain things or why we can’t behave the way we want to. Through our engagement in the therapeutic process, we bring some of those to our conscious mind, thereby increasing our ability to choose.
Here’s where we explore the function of the “problems” that bring us in. Overplanning and micromanaging is a way to deal with chaos, especially if it started in childhood. Depression is the body’s way of saying it needs a break. Marital struggles often expose conflicting desires: one part of us wants to be close to our spouse, while another worries about being hurt, rejected, or overly dependent. Perfectionism is often a response to a strong internal critic.
Conversation might sound like, “I know I’m exhausted, but I feel lazy if I stop.”
Then we stay with the voice that says you’re lazy and get curious about where it learned that. Then we find parts that were hurt or misunderstood.
“I only felt appreciated when I helped out at home. All other times, I was invisible.”
“I learned that if I don’t need anything, my parents won’t fight.”
“If I analyze every situation to make sure I’m doing it correctly, I won’t be bad.”
This is where we enter the next stage of therapy.
Grief.

Handling The Swatuation
At Last, the Zap’s Within Reach
You finally sit—sit!—with your coffee after putting in the seventh load, serving the third breakfast, and sending the kids out with their brand‑new jumbo chalk set that promised “hours of fun,” which in mom‑lingo translates to approximately twelve seconds. But hey, we take what we get. You take that first sip and are about to sneak a bite of the emergency chocolate you hid behind the flour when the patio door slams open and your children tumble in like they’re being chased by an alligator. Spoiler: it’s a bee. A single bee. But now your coffee’s on you, your kids are on you, and your chocolate… wait, where is that chocolate?
You break your ironclad rule and allow indoor chalk (logic is a luxury you no longer possess). You refill your mug. You sit again. But it’s always that first sip. Always. Suddenly, the kids rush you again, and so does your second cup of coffee. Turns out someone left the door open, and the bee accepted the invitation like it’s here for a playdate.
You grab the nearest swatter and begin the chase. You glare up at the bee as it struts across the ceiling, then swoops around you, openly mocking your reach. Finally, it lands at eye level. You take a swing. But your swatter… politely waves at it. The house now looks ransacked, the bee dances its victory dance, and your dignity is in shambles.
Now’s about the time when you need a swatter that actually, you know… swats.
Which is why this rotating, extendible zapper becomes the unsung hero of your domestic circus. First, it telescopes—because of course the bee chose the ceiling fan as its personal stage. Then there’s the rotating head, which means you’re no longer doing interpretive dance moves just to angle a flat swatter at a vertical wall. You simply twist, aim, and carry out consequences with the quiet efficiency of a mom who has absolutely had it—but not her coffee. |
|
|
Within seconds, the buzzing stops, the kids reemerge from behind the couch, and your living room no longer resembles a crime scene. You stand there—coffee‑stained, chocolate‑less, but victorious—holding a tool that finally matches the chaos level of your household.

Flies navigate heavily by light, so swatting them in a dimmer room (or approaching from below, where they have less visual acuity) gives you a better shot.. |

The Fruit Refresh
By: Liba Feldstein
When all the kids want is another freeze pop and soup has officially disappeared from the menu, many moms find themselves searching for ways to get a little more nutrition into their children. Here's how to give fruit a summer makeover.
Keep It Ready
A bowl of whole fruit on the counter sounds great in theory, but a platter of washed, cut-up fruit on the table is far more inviting. When it's easy to grab, children are much more likely to eat it.
Everything Tastes Better on a Stick
Thread chunks of melon, strawberries, grapes, and pineapple onto skewers. Somehow, fruit becomes instantly more exciting when it's served kebab-style.
Play with Your Food
Use cookie cutters to create stars, hearts, flowers, and other fun shapes from watermelon, cantaloupe, or honeydew. Arrange them into simple fruit pictures or scenes for an extra dose of fun.
Frozen Treats
On a hot day, frozen fruit can feel just as exciting as an ice pop. Try freezing grapes, or pick up ready-frozen mango chunks, strawberries, or peaches for a refreshing snack. For another fun twist, place a piece of fruit in each compartment of an ice cube tray, fill with water, and freeze. Serve the fruit-filled ice cubes for a colorful, refreshing treat.
Dip It!
A small bowl of yogurt, chocolate hummus, or nut butter can make fruit much more enticing. Sometimes a simple dip is all it takes.
Serve a Rainbow
Challenge your children to eat as many different fruit colors as they can. A colorful fruit platter often gets far more attention than a single type of fruit.
Blend It Up
If all else fails, pull out the blender! Smoothies and fruit shakes are an easy way to pack in plenty of fruit while creating a fun, treat-like experience.
And if all your efforts fail? More fresh fruit for Mommy.
