Repost .therapy absolutely so well illustrated!

Thinking of the complexity of many experiences. It’s never black and white. It’s complex and it’s okay to feel a lot. Be kind to yourself.

Love this and need to be regularly reminded of it.

The world is feeling chaotic and sad, so soak up beauty when you can.

Recently I’ve found myself empathising a little too much with my clients and had to remind myself: Therapy is hard work for clients but also hard work for me. My job is to hold space so clients can fully sit with their feelings and let them overcome them. As much as I want to make them feel better by taking away their pain quickly I need to let it sit for as long as the client needs it for successful long term healing.

Gratitude has been proven to improve your mood and especially your sense of motivation and self worth. Two areas that everyone could do with a boost. Just thinking of 3 different things every day can improve your mental health

Repost from .eidens it’s the little things and the everyday deserved luxuries. Happy weekend and mid semester break to all my students! Take care of yourself.

It’s happening. Making decisions that make me happy and lighter. And you’ll notice the difference.

Happy Love/Valentines day. I hope you love yourself today. Thanks .m.klees_poetry for this.

It’s your life. If it makes sense to you, if it’s what works best for you, if it’s what you want, take your time and do it at your pace.

It’s only Wednesday but it’s also only Wednesday. You got this. Keep going! I’m proud of us!

Find good people. Connect. Have fun. Support each other. This life is not meant to be lived alone or with/in difficult and painful relationships.

If you do anything, treat yourself better.

Thanks for the reminder

As I look at my son and think his innocence and worth. I think of my clients and how I wish they would all grow to see clearly how worthy of love and respect they are. Therapy is not only about treating disorder but it is also about seeing clearly how worthy of love and respect you are. Seek therapy if you feel your need more mental wellness in your life. Don’t wait until there is disorder.

Thought I’d be back in the office today but my body needs a bit more.
Hope you are also looking after your body.
And my mind needs my body so I’m doing this not only for my body but also for my mind.
Here’s to health for my body and mind.
Here’s to health.

Happy New Year

Eventually the sun will come. Summer is coming
