If this resonates, pause and notice where you say yes when your body wants to say no, and ask yourself whose comfort you are protecting right now, yours or theirs.

👩⚕️ Guilt and shame: these terms often get used interchangeably, but they're quite different, and understanding this can significantly impact our approach with clients. 🧠

🧠✨ The art of diagnosing is a significant part of our work, but it's crucial to approach it with a balanced mindset. Diagnoses can guide treatment, but they don't define the entirety of a client's experience.

Two things can be true.
You can feel grounded and uncertain.
Capable and overwhelmed.
Therapy doesn’t rush to resolve that.
It holds space for it.

Actually, you probably won't get what you put in... so take that into consideration before making decisions or doing too much. In fact, say yes to less! Let's end perfectionism, together! #therapytalk #licensedtherapist #mentalhealthmatters
Pluralistic practice means collaboration, flexibility, and space for difference.
It meets people where they are, and builds from there.
Ever practiced this way, or experienced it as a client?
We’d love to hear what resonated. 🧠🗣️

That during the tide of battle (as I am a Norse Heathen this is very on brand with philosophical and religious talk in my sessions), I will help hold the shield wall. I will pick them up should they fall, I will carry them (4) #therapytalk
My therapist suggested that maybe all I can offer is *my authenticity, my honesty*, that I can't tell them it'll be alright but I can tell them the truth that *I do* know. That I will stand, shields locked with them, and endure what comes. (3) #therapytalk
So what do I do? What can I say to a dear friend whose life is collapsing around them from the stress of current times? Do I compromise my honesty, and lie? Do I tell them it's going to be alright, that things get better? (2) #therapytalk
My therapist have me my homework last week, and I've been on this near infinite loop of trying to really define what living honestly, authentically, means to me, how do I serve those around me, without lying, without dishonesty... I can't lie and say it's going to be better, (1) #therapytalk
Therapy myths that need to go:
🚫 "Therapists have it all figured out."
🚫 "Therapy is only for crisis moments."
🚫 "You should feel better after every session."
Let’s set the record straight. What’s a myth you hear too often?
