Heart and mind

Some weeks the question is not about anyone else. It is am I good enough, or will I ever feel happy again, or why can't I stop thinking about someone who barely thinks of me. These pieces sit with those questions gently and honestly, with what psychology actually knows about attachment and limerence alongside the cards.

If a low stretch has gone on for weeks, or it is getting in the way of eating, sleeping or work, please talk to a doctor as well. The cards can keep you company. They are not a substitute for care.
