People are sometimes surprised that I talk about chronic illness as a grieving process. But it surely is. That’s why I wrote “Thriving in a Relationship When You Have Chronic Illness”, to help the two of you navigate this curve with grace. It’s not easy, but it can be done! #TherapistSky

Let’s face it, we could probably always do MORE, right? Especially in US hustle culture, the idea is push, push, push. Capture every project, get your kid on every team, work out every day - and on and on.. Hear me clearly. You are doing enough. You are enough. Doing your best is enough.

I want to do a quick little review of this book for those of you that are supervisors or Associate therapists. I have been looking for a book or journal that I could give to new hire Associates to drive good conversation & growth in supervision. #TherapistSky

This is a must read for ALL therapists, especially those of us who are neurotypical. As a NT therapist, I need to understand how neurodivergent folks are interpreting the therapy they are receiving, if it’s actually helpful and how I may need to adjust my style in order to accommodate them.

Some days it seems like our country's issues are complicated, but other days it seems like * Be honest and truthful * Care about other people would pretty well clear up most of what ails us.

Most people aren’t super clear on their values. The great thing about determining your values and getting very clear on them is that it can drive your behavior. Someone should be able to look at your life and clearly understand what it is that you value. How are you doing on this? #TherapistSky

The cruelty & evil is the point

This was one of my favorite quotes from Emily Romero‘s book You can trust yourself. It struck me because by the time many of us know that we need to heal from something we go on social media, or read some book to figure out what the fastest way is to heal. #TherapistSky

This is insane. If therapy isn’t confidential, what’s the point? #TherapistSky apple.news/AZg-BgohFQxe...

Happy almost pub day to this book. Part somatic experiencing, part IFS, part “woo woo” (per the author). Reminded me of the Four agreements a little. I didn’t think I’d love this but it ended up being pretty profound. #TherapistSky #bookreview

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Exactly

Y’all! I got the cover art for my new book!! Not out til 11/1, but you can pre-order on Amazon! a.co/d/2FV43km #TherapistSky

This is old saying, maybe even Socrates. I know we are polarized; I know there are super important issues going on. But I see no reason why we cannot ask ourselves these three questions before we open our mouths, particularly online. Check if your facts are true & always be kind. #TherapistSky

Most of us hate the feeling of being stuck, it’s not a comfortable feeling. But being stuck is a feeling that alerts us that we need to make a change. If we never felt stuck we’d just be drifting along unconsciously.

Just went to a therapist networking event and oof am I bad at small talk! 😂 #TherapistSky

“Geniuses from MIT” are not necessarily automatically great air traffic controllers. It’s a spatial relations brain talent - in ATC I knew a LOT of geniuses who could NOT do that particular job. Not that it surprises me that Trump doesn’t know wtf he’s talking about. #faa apple.news/AHn0lL8urR0y...

An mRNA vaccine was just tested and found super useful against pancreatic cancer. But oh well, I guess we don’t care about that?

Trudeau: He has said repeatedly, what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy. Because that will make it easier to annex us. First of all, that's never going to happen. We will never be the 51st state.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

How I feel about this administration and project 2025

It’s impossible. She was the master & this song is her opus.

I recently read about a study with college students. Half the students were assigned a 20 minute walk daily. The other half were also assigned a 20 minute walk daily AND told to find one thing on the walk each day that gave them a sense of awe.

There are not many subjects I can think of that are as misunderstood as forgiveness. Especially as a therapist who came from a church background, I’ve said “forgiveness is not reconciliation” so many times, my head hurts.

Exactly. This is what they’ve wanted all along.

Yes, indeed — what the fuck!!! 😡

#Resisters .....these are the rules

#therapistsky: do you think we need to be concerned about keeping a medication list in our clients records?? Https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/07/rfk-jr-wants-to-send-people-on-antidepressants-to-government-wellness-farms/

So y’all thought it was Genocide JOE, huh? #gaza

It’s so easy, if someone gets furious in a conversation, to get furious right back, isn’t it? Arguments escalate because your anger triggers me and then I get angry back which triggers you! #therapistsky

Exactly

First can we stop using DEI as an acronym? If you’re talking to me I’m gonna make you say the whole thing, tell me you are against diversity, equity & inclusion so we all know what kind of person you are. #DEI #diversity #equity #inclusion

Ooh I’m up on Goodreads! Coming 11/1!! Stand by for the cover reveal! #AuthorSky #writing

Just turned in the manuscript for my second book! Yay! #writing #authorsky

After being an air traffic controller for 15 years, I shouldn’t be surprised at people’s ignorance about how air traffic actually works. But I still am.

My heart goes out to everyone involved in the plane crash at DCA. Once again we see the selflessness and bravery of those conducting search and rescue efforts.
