One of the hardest parts of grief is the unspoken expectation that you shouldn’t grieve too long, too openly, or too much. The pressure from others to put on a strong exterior is a pain in itself.

You can experience the discomfort of setting the boundary OR you can live with the discomfort of not setting the boundary. Choose your discomfort.

Being compassionate to yourself doesn’t mean you will not be accountable or make changes. Self-compassion makes it possible for change and action to be FUELED BY LOVE instead of self-hatred and self-punishment.

“You are so good under stress” Thank you it’s the dissociation.

May I never again strive for someone else’s approval at the expense of myself.

I finished my associate hours! I am now an LPC officially! 🎉🎉🎉

Therapists, what do you wish you knew when you started your private practice?

"You are so strong" Thank you it's the urge to push myself to the point of burnout and exhaustion

Therapists who book speaking engagements, where/how did you start?

I don’t know who needs to hear this but stop putting off trying meds for your mental health. You might just wonder why you waited so long to do it.

Happy Pride!! 🌈🏳️‍🌈

Queers, I love our community but can y’all please stop attributing everything to astrology? Lol go to therapy, not everything is just because of your sign 😂

You are worthy of care. You are deserving of being seen. Someone not being able to provide that was never your fault.

You are allowed to make mistakes and deserve support when you make them. Mistakes + compassion = growth.

If you are burned out, ask yourself: How much of my burnout is a result of efforts to try to please others?

The traumatized urge to see if *just one more* accomplishment will fill the hole inside.

want to start asking straight people as soon as I meet them if they always knew they were straight
