Love is always complicated. However, love is rarely as complex as the love felt by a person for their therapist. Although it’s often dismissed, buried, or even shamed, loving your therapist is deeply human. Many times, it’s a sign that therapy is working. Read more on this topic via the link!

Therapy is hard work. It’s ok if a therapy session leaves you sad, shaken up, or exhausted. If, however, you find therapy sessions pushing you into a dark place where you feel like you need to use harmful things to cope, it’s time to re-evaluate. Read more via the link!

I think culturally, we are doing a really good job of normalizing the use of therapy and medication, but I wonder if we underemphasize that therapy takes time and effort to work. Quick-fix "breakthroughs" get glamorized in pop culture's version of therapy, but in real life, change comes slowly. Read more via the link!

When someone – especially kids but inclusive of us adults – has a HUGE reaction to a minor thing, the reaction probably is not actually about the thing. More often, it’s fear or trauma rising to the surface, or simply due to a lack of resources to cope in that moment. You can react to the behavior or you can validate it.

Love is always complicated, but rarely as complex as the love felt for a therapist. Although it’s often dismissed, buried, or even shamed, loving your therapist is deeply human, and often, a sign that therapy is working. Love has many nuances and many potential expressions (some of which can be highly problematic in a therapeutic relationship) but the felt experience of love is a positive sign that the relationship between a client and therapist has a powerful potential to bring healing.

Sometimes, even if you really like your therapist, it can be really difficult to talk in therapy. Words spoken in therapy can feel like they really matter. Compared to most relationships where words are often just filler, the same thing that makes therapy potentially really healing can also make speaking really hard- especially if you are introverted or not a particularly talkative person in the first place. In short, silence actually has the capacity to develop deeper relationships. My Stomach Hurts, Talk Therapy, Poetry Art, Something About You, Journal Template, Ways To Communicate

Although online directories make it easy to search and sort, it’s worth considering that many of the more experienced, more in-demand therapists don’t advertise, and instead keep their schedule full based on word-of-mouth alone. Here are some tips I have for finding a therapist!

When you're new to therapy and aren't really sure what therapy is supposed to feel like, it can be really confusing to try and figure out if a first session or initial consult went well. Asking questions about experience, training, specialities, and method can be helpful, but research indicates that these things matter less than the degree of trust that therapist and client build together.

From the outside, psychotherapy can look pretty mysterious. For individuals reaching out to connect with a therapist for the first time,navigating therapy can seem like a sea of unknown. Even simple questions like hot to start therapy can feel overwhelming.
