Freeform Friday: Taking my own advice

Honestly, I feel a bit like a fake lately. Here I am sharing tips and skills, and I’m barely holding it together. At least, from my view I’m barely holding it together. A friend recently said, “You’re holding yourself to some crazy standards thinking that you aren’t enough.”  Well, perhaps. I hold myself to the… Read More Freeform Friday: Taking my own advice

Top Skills Thursday: Find the RIGHT therapist

Welp, we’re going to take a dip into my life again because, it seems especially relevant to the stories I’ve heard about people who “try counseling.” I think most people have heard someone say, “I tried counseling but it really didn’t help any.” I don’t doubt these people have tried. Nor do I assume they… Read More Top Skills Thursday: Find the RIGHT therapist

Freeform Friday: Where to begin…

Well, that excitement about getting a new job and finally getting onto the career track I’ve spent the last four years working for … was given a bath in nuclear waste. I owe so much to my boss right now. It turns out the offer was a scam. He didn’t know, but he just kept… Read More Freeform Friday: Where to begin…

Therapy Tuesday: Art Therapy – pt 2

Like any good therapy, art therapy begins with a session where the therapist focuses on learning about their client, the reasons for seeking therapy, and the goals the client wants to achieve through therapy. Once this is done, what then? Do you spend time doodling or finger painting? You might. You might also work with… Read More Therapy Tuesday: Art Therapy – pt 2

Freeform Friday: Lots of thoughts

This week has been crazy busy. I absolutely do not approve. I didn’t exactly have a choice in crunching appointments in back to back, but I really dislike doing it. I work a later shift, and I have my mornings to myself. I am fiercely protective of my morning hours. Having to give them up… Read More Freeform Friday: Lots of thoughts

Top Skills Thursday: Recognize what hurts

So often when something troubles us, we shove it aside and keep pushing forward. A broken heart, dissatisfaction with a job, stress from any source, anger, fear, all those emotions just get pushed into a corner together. We tell ourselves we’ll deal with it later and focus on things we feel have to be done.… Read More Top Skills Thursday: Recognize what hurts

Soothing Sunday: When self-soothing goes wrong

Face it, the world is a crazy place. It seems to have become moreso in the past few years, no matter who you ask or what they think is craziest about it. Self-soothing is a fantastic way to keep your emotional state somewhere that allows you to function through it all. It can go terribly… Read More Soothing Sunday: When self-soothing goes wrong

Freeform Friday: Oh, I know this place

Well, it seems the depression and anxiety are just not really getting better. Awesome. I can’t count the times I’ve been here. Things just become so big and so overwhelming that my state of mind starts looking like “white girl can’t” from an infomercial. Top that off with a nasssty fatigue crash, and I’ve had… Read More Freeform Friday: Oh, I know this place

Therapy Tuesday: Art Therapy – Part 1

In addition to the major types of therapy I’ve been writing about, there’s offshoots that combine therapy with other mediums. Many people may be familiar with the use of play therapy with children. Children and adults benefit from art therapy in a variety of ways. It’s helpful when traditional therapies are failing as art becomes… Read More Therapy Tuesday: Art Therapy – Part 1

Top Skills Thursday: Add some grey

No matter how open-minded and understanding we want to be, there are always times when we see the world in black and white. Failure, being in need, not producing things, not working on yourself every single day… all are “bad.” Success, having more than enough of what you need, having a hustle… all are “good.”… Read More Top Skills Thursday: Add some grey
