Mind Revolution Therapy

A few years ago, a very wise friend of mine in the q***r community told me this:

"Q***r, As a literal word is a synonym for Strange, peculiar, different. In the 80s it took on a derogatory connotation against those of different sexuality and gender experiences. Recently the word Q***r has been reclaimed in a positive light by members of the community.

If there's anything I've learned over the past several years it's that being part of the LGBTQ community has SO little to do with who you sleep with. To be a part of this community is a statement about how different our existence is as humans....It's extraordinary."

Recently a client told me about a question they were asked "if there weren't such rigid gender norms, would there be fewer trans people?" To which he responded "no, there would be fewer cis people."

To say I am proud of the q***r community would be a vast understatement. The q***r community has a unique experience in the world - riddled with prejudices, abandonment, trauma, and inequality and yet... their experience is powered by resilience, acceptance, individuality, self actualization, and intimate community.

Q***r folx - thank you for letting me be a part of your experience. For showing me what autonomy, acceptance, vulnerability, courage, and love look like.

This is a safe space for you. I see you. I value you. I will always listen. I will always learn.

Non q***r folx - take head. Notice their example. They are paving the way to a world where everyone can be themselves - not a world of folks confined to binary labels and norms. If you find yourself questioning your identity - learn by their example. Support them.

Happy Pride month to all of the beautiful q***r folx out there - however you identify (or don't) 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈

Hi all,
I am a local therapist and currently accepting new clients. I know that appointments are hard to come by amidst our current mental health crisis and year 3 of the pandemic.

I am an LADC/LPCC by trade and have been practicing in the field for 9 years. I started my private practice in 2019 and currently offer telehealth in the evenings. I specialize in individual therapy for folks 18+ and have advanced training in MI, Trauma based CBT, and accelerated resolution therapy. My heart is in helping those with a history of traumatic experiences. Demographics I prefer to work with: cluster B personality traits, LGBTQIA+ folx, and first responders/military persons. I offer a direct, no BS approach coupled with humor and unconditional positive regard.

Feel free to pm, email, text, or call me with inquiries and to share this post with those in need :)

Sitting with people during their most raw moments is the greatest privilege. I am so grateful for those that allow me to be a part of their healing journey ♡

Happy 1 year anniversary, MRT! In the last year I have had the opportunity to develop a pratice that aligns wholeheartedly with who I am as a therapist and in a way that is client centered, trauma informed, solution focused and believes that individuals are the expert on their own lives. I feel an immense amount of gratitude for the clients that have been a part of the journey this year. Here's to many more years of fulfilling my dream and helping people become their true, authentic, selves ♡

I can't say this enough. Pain is good. It's human. It's natural. Pain is a message that something needs to change. Are you listening?

Hi, just your friendly green haired telehealth therapist checking in - did you self care today? Remind yourself that you're worthy and loveable? Give yourself the grace to be human? If not - this is your reminder! 🥰

Happy Pride month 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️⚧

The q***r community holds a special place in my heart for a few reasons.

Firstly, q***r folx were an intragal part in my own trauma healing process, I am forever grateful for the safe space my friends and family created for me ♡

Secondly, the LGBTQIA+ community is one all of us should look to as an example of love, inclusivity, and vulnerability - there truly isn't another group of people as honest and authentic as this one.

And finally, because mental illness is is disproportionately high in the q***r community while access to resources are disproportionately low, exacerbating the issues.

A few months ago I met a 12 year old boy in the emergency department for a su***de attempt because his family misgendered him as a girl and called him "weird", every. Single. Day.

Last week I met a 14 year old kiddo who was so riddled with shame about their gender/sexuality questioning that they ran away from home and had spent 2 weeks on the streets for fear of being outted and ostracized by their family unit.

A year ago I spent time with a woman who had attempted to die by su***de more times than she could count, and who told me "Angie, every time someone calls me a boy, I'm one step closer to death."

Just yesterday I met with a man who hated himself for loving men because his family and church told him his love meant he would burn for eternity.

I could go on and on. These stories are not unique. Q***r folx face so much.

My hope for all non LGBTQIA+ folks this pride season? If you do one thing, consider following and spreading the example of uncondictional, non-judgmental, inclusive, and joyous love the the q***r community has created. Be an ally. Learn. Listen. Grow.

To my q***r friends - Happy Pride. I am so proud of you and so grateful to be a part of your space in the world. Please reach out if you need someone to talk to. This is a safe space. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤

As a therapist, I take the honor of listening very seriously. As a Minnesota Emergency healthcare worker, I have seen the horrific toll that oppression has had on the BIPOC community in the last year. I stand as an ally to all oppressed people and will continue to listen and learn ✊

Let's talk teletherapy.

Prior to the covid-19 pandemic, teletherapy was limited, foreign, and let's be honest, felt like a "lesser" service.

But the pandemic forced all of us to live in new and innovative ways. We discovered that physical distancing need not mean social distancing.

Now the online platforms are more safe, secure, and user friendly than ever. Assessability to and ease of services have improved. Today, you can recieve support from the comfort of your home, without transportation issues, long drive times, and the need for child care. You can start therapy without the anxiety of having to visit a new place. You can get vulnerable in your safe space instead of a foreign one.

I've been providing 30+ hours of teletherapy for over a year now and I can promise that my clients and I are able to develop a strong, intimate bond, enabling us to get the hard work done... and have fun while we're at it.

For a peak into our world, here's the view my clients have when they work with me. Swipe 👈 to see my view... and yes, the cat is always in.

So - what's stopping you? What reservations/questions do you have about teletherapy?

This is a good op ed with expert mental health testimony.

Are you feeling anxious, excited, or something else about the world opening back up?

With deep empathy and respect for the loss so many have experienced, my goal is to maintain some of the positive side effects this pandemic thrust upon us all. Things like the slower pace, the earlier bed time, the consistent ans often check ins with friends/family, and the connection with nature. How about you?

Anxious About COVID Restrictions Lifting? Here’s Why And How To Cope. Therapists share ways to manage your anxiety and stress as coronavirus restrictions lift and the vaccine rollout continues.

It is truly one of my greatest privileges in life to be able to sit with people and bear witness to their life stories- through the pain, joy, struggle, growth, and all the other emotions on the roller coaster of life.

I don't take that privilege lightly.

Feeling humbled, with a full cup tonight ♡

It sure is.

Did you know that music directly impacts our autonomic nervous system? It hits the brain and immediately decreases our stress hormones. People that listen to music after a stressful situation recover more quickly than those who don't. In the same way, music can reduce chronic pain, sleep issues, and depressive symptoms.

"The Latin root of the word gratitude is grata or gratia—a given gift—and from this same root we get our word grace, which means a gift freely given.

So what does it mean to express gratitude?"

www.mindrevolutiontherapy.com/blog/gratitude

Gratitude - In Action — Mind Revolution Therapy For me, fall has always been a time to focus on gratitude. When I first became acquainted with the concept of gratitude, I learned that gratitude is not thankfulness. Gratitude, unlike the feeling of thankfulness, is an action. The definition of gratitude, according to the Oxford Dictionary is “s

Be kind to yourself

A reminder for this week:
If you cant focus, lack energy, revert to old (less healthy) coping - it is okay.

Doing our best doesn't mean being at 100% every day.

Sometimes our best means our biggest accomplishment for the day is getting out of bed.

Mental health doesn't happen over night and its not perfect.

If this week all you can do is survive - thats a big deal. I'm proud of you!

Let's make this clear!

We live in an individualistic culture where we see success as picking yourself up and carrying on. Which is all good and fine. But what if you can't get up. What if you need help?

That is OKAY. Literally everyone in the world has struggled emotionally at some point.

Might you be able to grit your teeth and fight through it? Yep!

But wouldn't it be nice to have a professional emotional healer sit with you in the mess, cheer you on the whole way, and give you the tools to get back up????

Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness. Its courage in the face of adversity. Its putting the ego aside and doing what it takes to heal. Really heal. Not stuff. Not ignore. Not fight. But HEAL.
