I had the opportunity to attend a conference with a few takeaways: 1. Utilize the language of being a “bonus parent”, “bonus mom”, “bonus dad”, rather than a “step parent”. Potentially to indicate that you are not trying to fill anybody shoes, but willing to be there in a respectful and reasonable way. 2. Use the terminology of “Brain Health” rather than “Mental Health”, as there are sooooo many factors that play into our Brains Health that affects our thinking. 3. A new term to be considered, PTSI for Posttraumatic Stress Injury. Injury being defined as “hurt, damage, or loss sustained”, something I can recover from. Rather than PTSD Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. Disorder being defined as “an abnormal physical or mental condition”, something wrong with me. Definitions in quotation marks coming from Merriam-Webster Dictionary.
