Alright, show of hands – who here is in therapy because of their parents?

If you didn’t raise your hand and haven’t ever thought of your parents’ behaviour as toxic, then congrats. But if you’re waving your arm in the air wildly right now, then you’ll want to keep reading. 

That’s because a therapist has shared some thoughts on the best way to communicate your emotions and set boundaries with your family – and she claims it’s important to avoid ‘therapy speak’.

So while it might be tempting to accuse your mum of ‘gaslighting’ you, or tell your dad that you’re ‘protecting your peace’, it could actually end up doing more harm than good. 

While we might understand this language, the older generation isn’t necessarily as in tune with it and so it ends up being rather ‘triggering’ for them.

Seems rather ironic that the ones who trigger us are triggered by our healing journey, but according to LJ Jones, it’s the unfortunate truth.

‘Many parents were raised in a time when emotional intelligence and open communication about feelings were largely unheard of,’ Jones, an author and accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, tells Metro. 

‘When we use psychological terms others don’t understand, it can sound clinical or critical and that triggers defensiveness instead of self-reflection and accountability.’

She explains that therapy phrases can’t just be thrown around, they need to be translated to hold proper meaning. 

‘Translation is the ability to express therapeutic insight in a way that others can understand, relate to, and perhaps also learn to assess their own behaviours and areas for growth.’

If you were to shout that your parents were ‘emotionally immature’ during an argument, this could create tension and cause upset – so it’s up to you whether language becomes a ‘bridge or a barrier’.

‘You can still protect your wellbeing and set boundaries, but connection can depend on how you say it,’ Jones continues.

‘Many parents avoid accountability and clients feel they are left with no choice but to arrive at estrangement, however, if you have parents who are willing to engage in open communication and restorative discussions, be sure to speak on a level with them rather than flooding them with new lexicon.’

Therapy speak to avoid using on your parents

She went on to share four examples of therapy speak that will ‘alienate’ your parents, and some ‘gentler, more impactful’ alternative things to say instead…

I’m protecting my peace

Instead try: I need some time to calm down, can we talk later?’

You’re emotionally immature

Instead try: I find it hard to talk about emotions between us – can we try a different approach?

You’re gaslighting me

Instead try: When my feelings are dismissed, I feel unseen. Can I explain what I meant?

I need to set boundaries

Instead try: I’m trying to find balance in my life to support my wellbeing, I hope you’ll understand.

‘The goal isn’t to silence yourself, it’s to be heard,’ Jones adds.

‘True healing and connection happens when self-awareness meets compassion and both parties are willing to do the work.’

Aldi has just casually launched its most premium wine range yet, just in time for Christmas.

And look, I appreciate the words ‘Aldi’ and ‘super premium’ don’t usually get uttered in the same sentence, but in the retailer’s own words, ‘shoppers can now sip like sommeliers without breaking the bank’.

They definitely had my attention at the last part of that sentence…

The new range includes high-end classics like Chablis Premier Cru, Sancerre and Châteauneuf-du-Pape, alongside a Rioja Gran Reserva and a Napa Cabernet Sauvignon and somehow prices start from just £6.29.

These are the kinds of wines you’d usually source from a wine merchant as they rely on factors like vintage, producer and site-specific vineyards. 

What is ‘premium’ wine?

To put ‘premium’ wines into perspective, they are typically produced in smaller quantities, by independent producers, from grapes grown in famously coveted regions around the world.

They’re usually made as vintage wines, meaning the grapes have to have been grown in the year stated on the bottle (or usually 85% do), from the better vineyard plots and they showcase a high level of provenance and grape varietal specificity.

Many are organic or biodynamic, shunning the use of chemicals in favour of sustainable methods. All of these factors push up the price.

This is the opposite to Aldi’s successful business model of working with top tier cooperatives across the world to procure their value wines. They tend to purchase in such high volumes that it means they can negotiate the best possible prices. Hence, my jaw is constantly on the floor when I attend their tastings.

What’s in Aldi’s new wine range?

There are 16 different wines in the new premium range, across red, white and rosé and they span a good number of the globe’s finer wine-producing countries – we’re talking Italy, Spain, France, United States and South Africa.

The selection includes the kind of appellations you’d find on Michelin Star wine lists or tucked away in private cellars of the annoyingly wealthy.

Prices for these bottles range from £6.29 to £21.99 at Aldi, which is remarkably cheaper than you’d find them in fancy restaurants.

Now, because I associate Aldi with the budget side of the wine world, I was curious to dip into this range and see what I thought. And full disclosure, I was sceptical going into it.

But after tasting the entire range, I’ve hand-selected five wines from a decent spread of price points and interest levels that I think should be on your shopping list on the run-up to Christmas.

Here’s the best of the bunch…

Specially Selected Stellenbosch Chardonnay, South Africa, (£6.29, 75cl)

Located east of Cape Town, Stellenbosch is looked at as one of South Africa’s finest winemaking regions. It’s sun kissed, so it tends to produce wines with ripe, vibrant aromas and flavours, with phenomenal freshness. This one was the major standout of the range for me, with rich, mineral and voluptuous flavours of nectarine, peach and mango with a balancing spritz of lime on the finish. It actually impressed me more than a bottle I recently tried in a fancy restaurant, which cost £125.

Specially Selected Chablis Premier Cru, France,(£21.99, 75cl)

A Chablis Premier Cru is currently on the list at Claridge’s Hotel for £1,175. That’s extreme, but Premier Cru is a massive step up in quality to regular Chablis. The vineyard sites (climats) with the best soil and climate are reserved for Premier Cru status. Aldi’s is a whisper of Claridge’s price tag, yet has elegance, minerality and Chablis’s typical tension, with flavours of tangerine, yellow plum and Golden Delicious apple crumble.

Specially Selected Cigales Rosé, Spain (£8.99, 75cl)

Just call me the Graped Crusader, as I’m the biggest advocate for rosé being consumed in all seasons, as it’s by far the most versatile style of wine you’ll find. This is from northeastern Spain, with bright red fruit and precise zing-factor, making it a true gastro-rosé. It’s a term I’ve literally just coined, as it matches phenomenally well with all things foodie. Try this with your turkey and trimmings in a few weeks and thank me later.

Specially Selected Moldovan Rară Neagră (£7.99, 75cl)

This is one of the real stars of the show, but strap yourself in for something different. First of all, this wine is from Moldova, made from a rare Transylvanian grape called Rară Neagră (rara-nee-egg-ra). Moldova has an established winemaking history stretching back 3,000 years, and you can tell. This is fruit-tastic, with lashings of crunchy plum and blackberry flavours, and a more serious line of cedar-like oak running through it.

In July this year, two-year-old Harper Gibson’s parents noticed that the toddler was a little more tired than usual and could tell that their little girl wasn’t ‘quite herself’.

‘It was tiny things that, at first, didn’t seem like much,’ her father, George, explains. ‘We made several trips to the GP and A&E, each time being told it was tonsillitis or an ear infection.’

Although Harper was prescribed antibiotics, they did nothing to help – and, as time went on, her worried mum and dad couldn’t shake the feeling something was wrong.

‘Every visit ended the same way – reassurances that she’d be fine,’ George adds. ‘But inside, we both knew something wasn’t right.’

Just a month later, the family received the devastating news that Harper actaully had medulloblastoma, the second most common brain tumour in children, which is potentially life-threatening and sees 52 diagnoses each year.

Her mother Laura, and dad George, from Staffordshire, only managed to the root of their daughter’s condition after a friend suggested a routine eye-test after noticing Harper had a lazy eye, so they took her to their local optician.

‘It’s that instinct parents have; you know your child better than anyone, and we could feel something deeper was wrong,’ George says. ‘The Specsavers team in Safford were incredible.

‘They were calm but serious, and when the optician stopped the test halfway through and explained that something didn’t look right, everything changed.’

Within minutes, they were referred to a local hospital, where scans found a 1.5 square-inch mass on Harper’s brain, with a large amount of fluid at the front.

The litttle girl was quickly transferred to Birmingham Children’s Hospital for specialist treatment, and within two days of the eye test, on 14 August, she was undergoing brain surgery to remove the tumour and find out whether it was cancerous or benign.

‘Waiting through that surgery felt like a lifetime. You sit there as a parent, knowing there’s absolutely nothing you can do but hope,’ recalls George.

While the operation was a success, just a week later the family were back in the hospital nervously waiting for the results. ‘We heard the words that will stay with us forever: the tumour was cancerous,’ George recalls. ‘No parent is ever prepared for that moment.

‘It’s a kind of pain that rips through you in silence. You want to scream, cry, do anything to take it away from them, but you can’t.

‘That night, we both remember feeling like the world had stopped. Everything that used to matter suddenly meant nothing.’

Within days Harper, now three, had begun chemotherapy treatment with the oncology team, but her parents admit it has been hard to watch their little girl go through so much.

‘Before all of this, Harper was full of energy and mischief, a proper little character,’ says George. ‘She loves her doggy BearBear, dancing around the living room, and running circles around us.

‘She was the kind of child who made everyone around her smile. To see that light fade, and to see her hooked up to machines and unable to play, is breaking us.

‘You spend your life protecting your child from harm, then suddenly you’re powerless, watching them go through something no one should have to face.’

Harper is still undergoing ‘relentless’ treatment in an attempt to destroy the cancerous cells in her body, but despite this her parents say she ‘keeps smiling’.

‘She finds joy in the smallest moments – a sticker from a nurse, bubbles from a play specialist, or just doing the best she can,’ George adds.

‘Right now, Harper is stable and responding to treatment as well as anyone could hope. The team are positive, but they’ve also been honest – cancer is unpredictable.’

The family add that they are living from one day to the next, after having to ‘rebuild their lives around chemotherapy schedules, hospital stays, blood counts, and side effects’.

‘You lose routine, sleep, work, and sometimes even a sense of who you were before it all began,’ George explains. ‘It’s barrage after barrage, never knowing when the next hit will come.

‘But Harper’s spirit keeps pulling us through. Somehow, through all of it, Harper shines.

‘She’s taught us more about strength than we could ever teach her.’

The parents also thank the ‘extraordinary’ staff for giving them ‘hope’, saying: ‘They’ve cried with us, laughed with us, and carried us.

‘They still pop in to check on her whenever they can – that kind of care goes beyond duty; it’s love.’

It’s this community spirit that has been the silver lining for the family.

‘Cancer might have taken away a part of her childhood, but it’s also shown us a side of humanity we didn’t know existed,’

‘People who love, care, and fight for children like ours every single day.’

Family friends are currently fundraising to help support the Gibsons financially throughout Harper’s treatment, with a goal of £15,000.
