If you are angry, anxious, and exhausted… your feelings make perfect sense.

I ran into an old teacher from middle school at the grocery store and she didn’t remember me. Honestly, best possible outcome. We’re in talks about me doing a presentation for the current 8th graders.

why is it called gender dysphoria if we are changing our sex anyone ever thought about this shit

This is why CBT doesn’t work anymore 🥲

New record?

Great book! Sorry it was so rude to you 😅

Clients when they start in therapy with me: “Trauma? No, I don’t have any trauma!”

Some time later: “Oh… shit.”

Gorgeous!! Nature is the best medicine

Awww so sorry for your loss 💔

👏👏👏

Everyone reading this is a pandemic survivor. Billions of us are still alive thanks to advances in medical research that are being rolled back by MAGA and MAHA.

50 million people died in the last global pandemic. This time, it was about one-seventh of that. Still too many & we're going backwards.

Valentine's Day can be a weird one. Maybe you love the hearts and pink everything or maybe you want to hide under a weighted blanket until February 15th. Here are some ways to show yourself a little love.

🚨 Policy Pulse 🚨

Nearly half of Indiana hospitals are operating at a loss, driven by rising costs and inadequate reimbursement—putting access to care, especially in rural areas, at risk. Policy action is urgently needed to protect Hoosier patients and providers.

Pain is inevitable.

But you get to choose the type of pain: avoidance, or acceptance.

Therapy is like cleaning out a wound.

Is it painful? Often, yes.

But the other option - not cleaning it - leads to bigger, more long-term problems.

Update: I went and was like “sooo there are different approaches to ABA, what’s your approach like?” (🤞client centered client centered client centered🤞)

They gave me an answer about being in nature a lot which didn’t really answer my question but oh well

My dad finally told me he loved me and I said big if true

When it comes to trauma recovery, slow is fast. 🩷

You won't find peace out there.

You'll only find it on the inside.

But, you must process your pain and grief to get there.

Healing works wonders.

IF you do your work.

The good news?

You CAN!

This is a new word to me!! Thank you, I learned something today

I have… not. 🤭

Despite my complex feelings about ABA, there is a new ABA center opening mere blocks away from by therapy office, so… gonna check out their open house tomorrow 👀

Guilt is often a control fantasy.

If you feel guilty, that implies you could have fixed, solved, or prevented something.

Could you *actually* have done something?

Or is this guilt a way to avoid feelings of helplessness or grief?

Things you can try if you're disassociating:

intense sensory experiences (cold shower, hot sauce, sour candy, brisk run, dancing, cooking w/ strong smells, aromatherapy, heavy weight/pressure, etc.)

repetitive bilateral gross motor tasks (swimming, rock climbing, rowing, elliptical, biking, etc.)

Amen to thaf
