Gun violence and death are not merely “the price we must pay to keep the second amendment”. Not when it’s somebody’s child. Not even when it’s someone who supports gun violence. #charliekirk

What good therapists do

“The purpose of psychotherapeutic is to set people free” -Rollo May

I would contend that that includes setting them free from the cultural constraints and expectations that we as therapists often unknowingly bring into the therapeutic endeavor

It is one of the most tragic aspects of America that those who decide to go to war are never at risk of actually having to fight one #trump #IranStrikes #veterantake

To sit with a human as they heal is a sacred business #therapy

250 years ago brave humans banded together to say “f*ck the king” and became the United States Army.

Proud to have been part of this lineage. Happy Birthday #usarmy #FDT #Army250 #nokingsinamerica #NoKingsDay

That which evokes in us anger towards and contempt for others, usually needs examination in ourselves

“Where your fear is, there is your task” C.G. Jung

“What is most personal is most universal” -Carl Rogers

When faced with possibility of tear gas, you should NOT sit. Tear gas is heavier than air. It will settle on the ground.
Seek higher ground.
Do NOT pick up canisters with your bare hands. Kick them away or cover them with a traffic cone(or something similar), then douse with water

Had the same question

Second. I volunteer to be the couple’s therapist they see. 🤣

“Freedom is not something that we have. It can only be something that we give. It is as fragile when we pass it on as it was when it was given to us. We must never hold onto it too long, lest our clumsy, hands, neglect it. We must never think to keep it for ourselves lest it be lost.”

🌟 SAVE THE DATE 🌟

It was a sad and gray morning when I woke up. Then I put on just the right jazz and it became existentially romantic instead. Some days just need the right soundtrack ☺️😎🎶

Being human is ridiculous. There is a kind of divine humor and sacred poetry about it. #humanisticpsychology #therapy #beinghuman

2. If you are unwilling to provide services to a patient on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, differences of belief, etc you DO NOT belong in ANY healthcare position mental healthcare or otherwise. Full stop. #antichristianbias #mentalhealth #lgbtq #VeteransAffairs

Officials launch task force to root out ‘anti-Christian bias’ in VA The move follows an order by President Donald Trump to look for evidence of discrimination against Christians throughout the federal government.

1. Not being allowed to discriminate against patients is NOT discrimination against you

Something we learn in trauma recovery is that many of the "shoulds" & "have to's" we were conditioned to take on by abusive families & churches back then were control strategies-- explicitly designed to exhaust us & f*ck w/ our head.

Once you see it, there's no un-seeing it.

A screenshot of a tweet by Pete Buttigieg (@PeteButtigieg ) reads: "Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead." The tweet includes a verified blue checkmark next to the username.

Pete B. destroys Pete H.

Good leadership sets the standard, embodies it. You have not only clear direction and a sense of vision, but an example of what right looks like as well. At least, that’s the way we thought about it back when I was an NCO in the Army 🤷‍♂️ #leadership #secdef

I’m not Catholic but I can only imagine the well of emotions felt by many as the Pope passes the day after delivering his Easter message.

Mental healthcare access is vital for all, especially those whose job is running toward/being in the trauma. Part of making this happen is erasing the barrier of stigma. #mentalhealth #veterans #firstresponders

Our ability to see and be with the humanity of others is essential to our ability to fully embrace our own. #humanisticpsychology #mentalhealth

Until we allow ourselves to integrate the parts of ourselves that we have been cut off from, they will continue to run our lives #therapy #mentalhealth
