I provide therapy to the woke mob 🤭

One thing people don't realize about therapy is that each individual therapist is so different. Even within the same scope. It's a bit like a blind friendship date. You both have to have rapport or nothing is going to shift. #MentalHealth #Therapy #IfAtFirstYouDon'tSucceed

At least he was punctual. #Therapy #Punctuation #Ampersand #Comics #Cartoon

I will laugh… if it’s funny 🤭

How is it only Tuesday

If you are angry, anxious, and exhausted… your feelings make perfect sense.

I ran into an old teacher from middle school at the grocery store and she didn’t remember me. Honestly, best possible outcome. We’re in talks about me doing a presentation for the current 8th graders.

why is it called gender dysphoria if we are changing our sex anyone ever thought about this shit

Clients when they start in therapy with me: “Trauma? No, I don’t have any trauma!” Some time later: “Oh… shit.”

Everyone reading this is a pandemic survivor. Billions of us are still alive thanks to advances in medical research that are being rolled back by MAGA and MAHA. 50 million people died in the last global pandemic. This time, it was about one-seventh of that. Still too many & we're going backwards.

🚨 Policy Pulse 🚨 Nearly half of Indiana hospitals are operating at a loss, driven by rising costs and inadequate reimbursement—putting access to care, especially in rural areas, at risk. Policy action is urgently needed to protect Hoosier patients and providers. #HoosierSky #PublicHealth

Pain is inevitable. But you get to choose the type of pain: avoidance, or acceptance.

Therapy is like cleaning out a wound. Is it painful? Often, yes. But the other option - not cleaning it - leads to bigger, more long-term problems.

Update: I went and was like “sooo there are different approaches to ABA, what’s your approach like?” (🤞client centered client centered client centered🤞) They gave me an answer about being in nature a lot which didn’t really answer my question but oh well

My dad finally told me he loved me and I said big if true

You won't find peace out there. You'll only find it on the inside. But, you must process your pain and grief to get there. Healing works wonders. IF you do your work. The good news? You CAN!

Despite my complex feelings about ABA, there is a new ABA center opening mere blocks away from by therapy office, so… gonna check out their open house tomorrow 👀

Guilt is often a control fantasy. If you feel guilty, that implies you could have fixed, solved, or prevented something. Could you *actually* have done something? Or is this guilt a way to avoid feelings of helplessness or grief? 🩷

Things you can try if you're disassociating: intense sensory experiences (cold shower, hot sauce, sour candy, brisk run, dancing, cooking w/ strong smells, aromatherapy, heavy weight/pressure, etc.) repetitive bilateral gross motor tasks (swimming, rock climbing, rowing, elliptical, biking, etc.)

@joshbartok.bsky.social and I wrote this for @psychologytoday.com a few months ago, but it feels worth revisiting this morning. I hope you’re all finding ways to ground yourselves amid all this pain and fear. #psychology #therapistsky #psychscisky www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mind...

Mad props to all the therapists in Minnesota right now. Helping people through trauma while it *keeps happening* isn't easy. Thank you. #TherapistSky

Just because that person in your personal life is a therapist… does NOT necessarily mean that they are healthier than you are

it's amazing what some late night baking can do for your mood and your soul

When everything feels uncertain, I look to the rhythms of the land. They teach me to trust what I can’t yet see. Pause for a moment today. Notice what’s quietly growing around you, and within you. #hopeinthewaiting #payattention #gentlerhythms

How many therapists does it take to change a light bulb? Just one… but the light bulb has to want to change! 💡

Hey you! Yeah you! Have you eaten today? If you are outside in the cold, many small meals/snacks keep you warmer than having a few big meals.

ADHD symptoms be like: • annoys teachers • hard to parent • not great at jobs • kinda creative? • too quiet • too loud • too sensitive • too much

Spiritual bypassing is the intentional dismissal of your own feelings and realities in lieu of loftier goals, like world and inner peace. Just so we’re clear, we can absolutely be fighting for peace AND ALSO acknowledging that living under a fascist regime is fucking scary and it sucks.

Therapy homework assignment #1: Make a piece of bad art.

Hot Take: instead of “substance abuse” education in schools we should teach *medication* & drug awareness/safety and include a unit on recreational use of controlled and illicit substances because kids need to understand how medications work, period! and harm reduction is the way forward, fellas!

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

And that’s on Intuitive Eating 🙂‍↕️

ADHD is always hearing “you’re doing it wrong” even though your way works.
