Let’s put the pieces together

01/28/2026

My internship didn’t just teach me how to be a therapist.
It taught me who I needed to become.

I entered this field almost 10 years ago long before the title, the office, or the confidence.
Those early one-on-one moments with psych patients were humbling, heavy, and formative in ways no textbook could prepare me for.

I was challenged.
I was shaken.
I was stretched.

And I’m deeply grateful for it.

Because the therapist I am today was shaped in those quiet, intense, uncomfortable moments where learning was real, responsibility was heavy, and growth wasn’t optional.

I carry those experiences with me into every session.
They remind me why presence matters, why humility matters, and why this work is never just a job.

If you’re early in your training and it feels overwhelming
you’re not behind.
You’re becoming.

Based on true events running mandatory group therapy 😅

The “safe” word was yelling for “staff”.

🔥 Unpopular opinion:
A lot of people don’t like psychiatrists.

And honestly… I hear the same things over and over:
• poor bedside manner
• feeling unheard or dismissed
• rushed 10–15 minute appointments
• little to no collaboration with therapists

That’s why I often recommend psychiatric nurse practitioners instead.

Psych NPs tend to:
✔ spend more time with you
✔ have stronger bedside manner
✔ listen more holistically
✔ collaborate closely with therapists
✔ treat you like a person, not a diagnosis

Medication management shouldn’t feel cold or transactional.
It should feel collaborative, informed, and human.

You deserve a provider who listens and works alongside your therapist, not over you.

🚩 Psychiatry red flags on your FIRST visit 🚩

If your appointment is:
❌ under 15 minutes
❌ pushing medication immediately
❌ acting like they know your life better than you do
❌ not asking about therapy
❌ not curious about you

That’s a red flag.

Medication can be helpful.
But you are not a checklist or a prescription pad.

You have the right to:
✔ ask questions
✔ explore therapy
✔ say no
✔ get a second opinion
✔ find a provider that aligns with your values and lifestyle

There are psychiatrists and psychiatric NPs who collaborate, listen, and treat you like a human, not a diagnosis.

Do your research. Advocate for yourself.
You deserve care that feels aligned not rushed.

I heard you were looking for skills to try this week 👀🧩

So here’s something I actually give clients in session, broken down in a way you can use in real life, not just read about.

Therapy isn’t about “fixing” yourself.
It’s about noticing your patterns, interrupting them, and choosing something more supportive, one small moment at a time.

This week’s focus:
✨ Catch the thought before it runs the show
✨ Check whether it’s a fact or a feeling
✨ Change the language you use with yourself
✨ Regulate your body before reacting
✨ Do something today that your future self will thank you for

You don’t need to master all of this at once.
You just need to practice one skill at a time consistently.

Save this for the week.
And tell me in the comments… which day do you need the most right now? 👇

Therapy works because of the relationship.

The safety.
The trust.
The feeling of being understood without having to explain everything.

Techniques matter.
Tools matter.

But rapport is what makes healing possible.

My therapist told me to write my thoughts down…
Turns out my brain doesn’t come with an “organized notes” feature 😅
