How do you define success? Is it reaching a milestone? Is it feeling more like yourself again - or (let's be honest) for the very first time?

In therapy, success can look like noticing a pattern, handling an old situation in a new way, or just feeling understood for once.

How do you define success? Let me know in the comments.

Oh the need to hold back is definitely a thing. It can be a useful and wonderful thing, or a well-intentioned, but a little misguided, feeling.

The need to hold back comes to you to give information:

"Hey, we're not safe here. You better be careful."

It wants to be helpful and good. Like a friend, a dog, a helpful duck, any noble companion you can imagine.

Sometimes, the feeling is right. Are you safe with your therapist?

Other times, the feeling is misleading. Are you used to feeling unsafe?

In every case, the feeling wants to help. It's you, the human, who get to greet the feeling when it comes, open it up and read its message, and decide what to do.

Little failures can feel enormous, can't they? Like everyone will remember, or worse: like they're evidence of some awful inner lack.

But you know what? Little failures mean one thing and one thing only: you tried something new. Little failures, even the public ones! - are part of living life well.

Learn to love them, and watch your life blossom.

If you enjoyed this week’s spooky story, share it with someone who had a small failure. Or heck, even a big one.

Were you a “gifted kid?”

(Or, maybe not but if you felt that you might have been missed on testing day, keep reading.)

Did your peers regard you as intense, high strung, or perfectionistic?

Were you praised for being one of the brightest in your class, an overachiever, or even called a genius?

Well, all that stuff only matters in grade school right? Then you’re a grown up, and not in there’s no gifted program anymore, so now it’s irrelevant, right?! Not so fast...because you don’t grow out of giftedness, and the need for support does not end when you finish school.

In this one hour seminar, we will explore the impact of being a gifted adult from a social, occupational, educational, relational, and mental health lens.

About the presenter:

Hannah is a pre-licensed mental health counselor specializing in work with gifted adults. She holds a masters degree in clinical mental health counseling and has been in practice for 2.5 years. Hannah is passionate about supporting gifted adults in navigating the intricacies of being twice exceptional--Don’t know what twice exceptional means? We’ll talk about that too!

Note: this is an educational seminar, not counseling, therefore anyone from anywhere can attend.

Let’s talk about it: those times in therapy when you just can’t have a feeling.

It can sound like a problem, but it’s simply a kind of protection.

When you’ve been through chronic stress, grief, or trauma, your mind wants to quiet your emotions so you can keep functioning. That “numb” feeling isn’t proof that you can’t heal...it’s proof that you’ve been surviving.

So in therapy, we don’t rush to make feelings come back. We start small: noticing sensations, naming some neutral emotions, building safety. Over time, your system can relearn that it’s safe to feel again.

In short, feeling “nothing” doesn’t make therapy not work. It’s not the end of the story :)

I'll be honest: this is exactly what I used to be like. And the worst part is, I felt so tough and capable, that instead of seeking help when I was struggling, I "toughed up" and just...lived a hard life. Friends: life isn't meant to be hard. It's meant to be good. Hardship for the sake of hardship only hurts you. So the sooner you start to let go of "hardship as an identity", the sooner you can start living life as you want it.

Our Story

The Cedar Tree story is a story of strength, resilience, and survival in the face of challenge. Much like mental health, actually.

When we bought our house a few years ago, much of the back yard was overgrown with dense brush and vines, so thick and thorny that we couldn’t see through it. We decided to plant a small garden there, and after the winter started clearing the brush. The work was tough, but after a few days we discovered a scrawny little cedar tree, barely alive. It looked almost as bad as Charlie Brown’s Christmas tree. But we carefully cleared around it, gave it a little fertilizer. It started growing. Its color became brighter, its trunk stronger, and the branches spread. With access to light, water, and nourishment, it thrived. In a few months, it looked like a different tree, and now, a few years later, it’s 30 feet tall, symmetrical, lush, and beautiful. People are like that too. Someone fighting stress, anxiety, depression, or other life and mental health challenges may need help. Once the challenges are cleared, we not only survive, we thrive!
