If you're a social worker in the US that sees couples, I NEED YOUR HELP to complete my DSW dissertation!

My research is centered around how social workers address emotional intensity and reactivity in the therapy space with couples. Drop a comment here or email me at rmsheade@upenn.edu if you'd be interested in participating!

Are we over-using the term “narcissist?”

Somewhere along the way, narcissism became one of the most popular psychological words in everyday language. Social media is full of lists about how to “spot a narcissist.” Podcasts break down the “ten signs you’re dating one. Entire corners of the internet are built around surviving them.

Same day. Two stages. Same presence.

In the morning she stood at a podium and spoke with clarity and confidence for “Living History.” Then last night she took center stage under the lights and owned it in a completely different way.

Different rooms. Different energy. Same grounded spine.

Commanding a stage does not start under lights. It starts at home. In conversations where her voice is taken seriously. In moments where she is allowed to be strong, nervous, bold, and fully herself.

Raising a boss is not about ego. It is about alignment. It is about helping a young woman know she belongs wherever she stands.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR! The third annual Mental Health Summit at the Franciscan Renewal Center is June 11-14 this year. It is LUDICROUSLY affordable to stay on our beautiful 25-acre campus while being fed both intellectually and also literally (made-from-scratch meals included)!

Don’t miss your chance for growth, learning, connection, and community! Up to 10 CEUs are possible for mental health professionals, but the Summit is for anyone with an interest in mental health!

And if you would like to speak - reach out! We are still open to a few speakers on topics surrounding mental health.

"What if the real work of grief is not just missing them, but integrating them? Not clinging to their beam. But absorbing it. The wisdom they offered. The strength they modeled. The love they reflected back to you. Instead of standing on the shore waiting for their light to return, you begin asking: What did they see in me? What did they believe about me? What parts of them live inside me already? You do not replace them. You internalize them. That is how the light continues."

Do you know someone who could use six sessions of therapy in exchange for a donation?

At the Franciscan Renewal Center in Paradise Valley, we have been offering just that since the 1970s! For more than 50 years, local therapists have been volunteering their time and clients have been giving a donation for their sessions to support the good work we are doing.

Reach out to me at counseling@thecasa.org for more information!

If you want to see Erica's genuine smile, look no further than the first picture in this post. There is no work she loves more than this - helping little people who look like her find their voice, get the help they need, and combat shame and stigma.

From “The Independent”: Democratic lawmakers in New Jersey have sent a blunt message to Immigration and Customs Enforcement with the introduction of a new bill.

The “Fight Unlawful Conduct and Keep Individuals and Communities Empowered Act” - or F*** ICE Act - was introduced Thursday in the State Assembly. It aims to extend residents’ rights under state law to sue federal immigration officials for unconstitutional conduct.
