My first thought when I saw the title of your post come across my email was, Oh, no, not mind mapping!! Mind-mapping is a tried and true method for the prewriting stage of the writing process. I gave it to my students as one of several prewriting options, but I didn't attempt to teach them how to do it because I've never been able to do it myself. My mind just doesn't work that way. I look forward to your interview with Kathryn Vercillo!

Lol!! As you can see I don't really do it much either... I prefer the jump and sew the parachute together on the way down methods 🤣🤣 Glad you're looking forward to the interview...🤞💚🥰

Thank you so much for highlighting Dr. Bob's Emotional Repair Program First Aid Kit and giving so many examples. It sounds ideal for my teenage daughter who is having a lot of mental health issues, and is a very visual person. I have ordered the book. I also appreciate that you do not push the idea that she should talk to friends, since many young people with mental health challenges, like my daughter, do not have any friends (especially since the isolation during the pandemic lockdowns).
