A Modern Therapist

So many virtual therapy sessions where the client is in their car definitely says something! 💯 It is private, protected, and a rare space where we don’t have technology swarming us. . Gotta let the dust settle to see how we are actually doing. ✨ #pause #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #therapist #therapy

Too personal… 😅 Exhibit A as to why we can’t be our own therapist. 🫥 The outside perspective of a professional puts together things we can’t see or understand. 🛋️ . #therapist #therapy #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #psychologist #ocd

@dr.jackiehrzich Don’t you DARE throw out that final sip! 😫 It’s a whatever-we-gotta-do-to-survive-the-bs YEAR. 🙌🏽 #savethesips ✨🥤✨ . #therapist #mentalhealth #reallife #psychologist

We did literally nothing and everything.. ✨ There are so many pros to the technology/social media era especially with accessibility! 💯 However, some research shows we may be more lonely than we have ever been with more than 50% of adults reporting they experience loneliness regularly. 🫥 How we feel connected may be evolving but there is something I miss about the regular gatherings of the 90’s… 🙌🏽 . #friends #community #socialconnection #isolation #therapist #therapy #psychology

The BEST feeling as a therapist.. 🥳 When the corrective emotional experience has been corrective. 💞 Everyone doesn’t have to be your therapist but the goal is to expand what you learn in therapy to your daily life. 🙌🏽 and one of the biggest transformations is when people begin to be vulnerable and authentic outside of session. 💯🛋️💯 Can’t explain how amazing it is to witness that growth. . #therapy #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #therapist #keepgrowing

Learning and growth comes in many forms. ✨ Stay reflective and we can learn the lesson even if it’s one we don’t want to repeat. 💯 . #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #therapist #psychology #therapy

Unfortunately, we can get stuck in chronically wanting things to be or feel easy. 🫥 Pause, reflect and make sure this isn’t a recurring pattern. 🙌🏽 Because yes, sometimes we DO need to shift.. and other times we need to buckle-up and lean forward in order to grow. 🌴 . #keepgoing #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #therapist #psychologist

Me: “It won’t always be this hard or feel this bad. There will be so many moments of joy, awe, and triumph in the future. Stay curious always and spread the light that gets shined on you onto others.” 🌅💓🙌🏽 #keepgoing #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #therapist #innerchild #healing

Friendships, family, co-worker, bestie, that one barista who puts the heart on your latte and makes your Monday suck just a bit less… ALL DESERVE LOVE. 💞 Even the smallest expression of gratitude can have a big impact. ❣️ Happy Valentine’s Day everyone. ❤️‍🔥 . #valentines #valentinesday #mentalhealth #relationships #therapist

HOW your therapist responds is going to say something about whether this is the right fit for you. ✨🛋️✨ I think the inherent power differential prevents people from speaking their truth and asking the questions that sit with them. 🫥 But there is nothing more important than you getting to air out or get clarity on whatever you are needing! 💯 . #therapy #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #therapist #psychologist #keepgoing

Anything can be educational IF you pay attention. 💯🙌🏽 The range of reactions to Kendrick’s performance is telling. . But for real, the depths of artistry that some of these creators noticed and explained have me over here like.. 🤓✍️🤯 . #superbowl #therapist #psychologist #keepgrowing #kendricklamar #psychology

This whole therapeutic work is so nuanced and context driven!💯And I’ve LOVED reading your comments and individual differences.🙌🏽I do think their is an adaptability piece that comes with being a therapist… being able to shift to meet the unique needs each hour as best of you can.🛋️
