Something a little different for this page. I’ve been trying my hand at poetry and felt inspired by the red winged black bird. I’ve been reflecting on how the first to leave high control groups often leave with scarlet letters and are dismissed by the remaining members who used to be their closest friends. Their stories of trauma are discounted as members try to find reasons to blame them for the mistreatment they received. I hope this resonates with some of you ❤️

🧠 If your attention span is 15 minutes long, don’t push yourself to focus for 30 minutes straight. You’ll only become frustrated and discouraged. Focus for 15 minutes, take a 5 minute break doing something that rejuvenates you, focus for another 15 minutes and repeat.Then, shoot for 16 or 17 minutes the following week.

🩹Pain is a natural and healthy part of life and relationships. But how do we know when our pain or others’ pain is a result of natural and healthy hurt vs dangerous damage? Here’s some food for thought. Keep in mind that these are not hard and fast rules but rather principles to consider.

🗣 At one point in my life I was in the camp that was confused (and even frustrated) by some of these forms of reporting. I’m embarrassed to admit that now. As humans, we want cold hard facts so that we can DO something about the problem. But I encourage people who are in that camp to put aside the desire to simply DO something and choose instead an attitude of curiosity and humility. A fantastic response to these forms of reporting would be “that sounds incredibly difficult, if you feel comfortable, could you tell me more? And if not, is there something that I can do to help you feel more comfortable?” And as always, if the answer is ultimately no and that they have shared as much as they can at this moment, respect it.

This topic is a complicated one. It’s scary to analyze, especially if you are religious / spiritual. What if I’m guilty of these things? What if other people are doing this to me and I thought it was normal? Does my whole belief system go out the window if my community is doing this? I hope to make this topic less intimidating for those who want to learn. More of my page will be for the purpose of education on this topic going forward, so please comment or message me directly with what kind of content surrounding this topic you hope to see. And to the survivors of spiritual abuse: I see you. I want more of the world to understand how you’ve been impacted. It’s an unspeakable pain that cannot be ignored.

☕️ I’ve been out of the office studying this past week for the biggest test of my life. This test was a huge puzzle piece in me going from an LPC to an LPCC. It represents the culmination of 3,000 hours of clinical work, diagnosing and treating mental health struggles as well as 150 hours of counsel from wise supervisors that have played a huge role in my clients’ healing. (Amy Moreno and Molly Brandt Fields - thank you so much for your investment in me as a clinician!)

During this test I had to put to use a lot of the coping skills that I preach to my clients about (deep breathing, thought stopping, positive self talk, etc) in order to stay focused and in the right head space. I made it out on the other side and passed that beast of a test.

I’m cherishing the feelings of relief and pride until my next challenge in life presents itself.

Anxiety is not an emotion to avoid - it’s an emotion that can challenge us to work hard. It certainly played a role in my motivation to study. But sometimes it rears its head at the wrong times (like while we are taking tests for example). In those moments, be kind to your anxiety. Soothe it, speak warmly to it, and re-focus on the task ahead. ✨

As kids we were motivated by marble jars, weekly allowances, and yummy desserts. As adults we sometimes forget that we need rewards and incentives as much as our younger selves did. Now it’s just up to us to provide that incentive. Today was my last hour of supervision after 3 years of (licensed) practice, and while I’ve enjoyed every minute of it, being done is still a huge accomplishment that I wanted to reward myself for. So naturally, I took out a second mortgage to get my very unique and complicated venti Starbucks drink to celebrate. How do you reward / incentivize yourself?
