Self-Care: How Can You Pour From an Empty Cup?

Self-care. Had a hard week at work? I’m going to have a glass of wine. Self-care. Long day, and overly exhausted? I’m going to take a bath. Self-care. Feeling overwhelmed and just need to check out for a little while? I’m going to sit outside and read today. Self-care.

Addressing Insecurities in Relationships

Insecurities. We all have them. Insecurity simply means the feeling of uncertainty. These feelings of uncertainty can manifest themselves in the physical form as well as emotional uncertainty.

What to Do if You Need Something Different in Therapy

I can think of many situations where I thought to myself, “I wish this person could just read my mind.” That way, I am able to escape the responsibility of having to tell them myself because that feeling is not always the most desirable. How is this person going to respond to my request?

Podcast Episodes to Check Out This Month

There is so much interesting and thought-provoking content about mental health out there these days, it’s hard to even know where to start! Movies, magazines, TV shows, and even songs on Top40 radio have been taking on the topic of mental health, exploring it from dozens of fresh and new perspectives. My personal favorite way to look at the subject through a new lens is via podcasts! Honestly, if I am doing anything in which I do not have to immediately interact with another person, odds are pretty good that I have a podcast on in the background. This became especially true during the pandemic when bouts of loneliness and isolation would creep in, and it was so comforting to hear the familiar voices of my favorite podcast hosts wafting through my home.

Well... Have You Tried Therapy? Wisdom from a Failed Interview

I was recently interviewed by someone looking for clickbait. What they didn’t know was I don’t do light, and I certainly don’t do divisive. We were going to go deep whether their article wanted it or not, hence the failed interview.

It's Not Enough For Your Therapist to Just Be Nice

We are currently living an age that I like to the call the “Mental Health Renaissance”. Everywhere you turn in popular media, there seems to be more and more discussion about mental health and mental illness. And as a therapist and a longtime recipient of therapy myself, I think it is a beautiful thing to see. The less taboo we can make the subject, the more people will reach out and get the help they need, and the research seems to be bearing that out!

Stop the Pursuit of Happiness

Being a therapist, I have a few “secrets” about human behavior. One is that the pursuit of happiness can sometimes be dangerous and destructive. I know, shocking for a therapist to say this, right? Give me a second to explain. We know from research that people constantly stay at a happiness level of 7 on a 1-10 scale. I witness this often in session, when someone is going on an amazing vacation, they rant about the service or weather.
