Only 2 of these left on Amazon. I think my publisher will need to put some more on there (I don’t know how it works). It’s now in Amazon’s top 500 poetry books). My second collection and very proud of it. Beautiful cover by artist Pete McKee. amzn.eu/d/hroQ2jH

Rejection sensitivity is central to ADHD, autism, and cPTSD. Mental health services rarely understand rejection sensitivity, which is why people in all three diagnostic categories are so often told there is something wrong with their personality. There isn’t. #HumanNotPD

Does anyone else remember Plic Placs from the 1970s? (Might have spelled it wrong). Or have I just made them up?
