Therapy for the Body, Mind, and Spirit

04/29/2020

This time has called me to return to yoga. Yoga changed my life when I started practicing, becoming an almost daily ritual that ultimately led me to become a therapist. The last couple years, I had been practicing less frequently. But it found me again in this time when I need grounding. So forever grateful for the practice, and the privilege that I have to return to it.

Quoted in Cosmopolitan for my thoughts on Tarot in therapy!

A prediction: Your therapist may actually say yes.

Sounds about right!

These interactions will probably resonate (and make you LOL).

Grateful for those clients whose hard work helps them become more comfortable being themselves. Had some clients thank me for helping them with anxiety yesterday and was really grateful to get to do work that helps people.

Interesting commentary on the antidote to the loneliness epidemic being deep and meaningful connection. It amazes me how much people blossom when they have community, and I hope articles like this are part of a larger change that we can all be part of.

It’s harder than it sounds.

Grateful for my friends, family, work, and for getting to live in such a beautiful place. Feels really nice to wind down my week after vacation feeling recharged.

The role that work plays in mental health is complicated, but I appreciate this article's reflection that sometimes work can be a respite. I work with anxiety and panic disorder frequently and have encountered both sides of the coin, work being too much and work being a relief. I like the call to employers to value mental health and model wellbeing.

My payback for being a survivor is telling my story.

Feeling the energy of transformation in the air. Inspired to reach out to friends and finish projects. Excited to see what change the feeling brings!

Back from vacation and feel excited to be back in my rhythm. Grateful to be on a path I find rewarding and where I get to connect with other people every day!

Last day of vacation, and on the bus, someone offered me their seat because they wanted to give it to “someone who needed it more than they did.” Taking it as a sign of how much I’ve been able to relax and let go this week.
