Let's Smile with our Eyes and our Questions

Have you ever noticed how much information is in the human face? Since we’re all wearing masks these days, what can we do to communicate clearly?

Luckily, we can still smile with our eyes. And what a huge difference that makes! One of the highlights of my day is seeing the smile in the eyes of the woman who does the daily Covid check when I drop my son off at school. She’s generally curious and delghted when she gets the “all clear” and is able to take James into the school. I see her eyes brighten, and the joy lines speading out. What a difference that makes! And if it wasn’t “all clear” and we had to turn around and go home or to be tested, I’m sure her kindness and empathy would help in that crummy situation too. I appreciate that she smiles with her eyes, and I do my best to do that too.

We can also smile with our words. We may need to cover our mouths and socially distance our bodies, and this can lead some people to socially distancing their positive curiosity and empathy, as well. I hope that's not the case with you and the people you see out in the world. Though we stand apart physically, it seems both nourishing and vitally important to lean in emotionally.

If fear, sadness, or anxiety, are making it hard for you to connect with yourself or others, I'd be happy to help with that.

Be Well!

Thank you to my amazing clients. This testimonial arrived this week, and with permission, I'd love to share:

Sometimes we think we have life figured out and then we get hit by a curve ball. We become so out of touch with ourselves and our realities, causing almost everything around us to crumble while feeling helpless. I am one of those people who felt like there was no return from a dark place and thought that seeing a therapist would automatically fix all my issues. Well guess what, it did. Lindsey helped me reconstruct myself. We worked on me. We demolished all barriers and walls and reached out to a caged little person who did not practice enough self-love. Because he cared, because he made me feel safe and that I could trust him with my journey towards healing, all while passing no judgements whatsoever, I started to realize that I have to put me first because without me I cannot be the delight I intend to be to my dear husband or to the wonderful people that I desire to offer my service to. My marriage is so much happier as is my relationship with everybody I come in contact with. Lindsey believed in me from the very first day I sat on his couch and as a result of that I slowly started to believe in myself again.

Thank you!!!

Moments in session at Pear Tree Family Therapy (Part 3 of 3)

This guidance is what I have needed to build the scaffolding to reach the next stages of my life, the ones that have been patiently waiting until I do the necessary work. The success that I have earned in my life: the right to be joyful, respond with thoughtfulness, and the permission to prioritize my needs, clarity.

It’s time.

Moments in session at Pear Tree Family Therapy (Part 2)

We can begin to hold space for the blinds spots I've lived with, together. I have been needing to ask myself the hard questions for some time, and take responsibility for my choices. The choices I have made are my own, and owning them surprisingly makes me feel stronger. I can do hard things. In fact, I have already done them. And I’m here investing in myself and my future.

Moments in session at Pear Tree Family Therapy (Part 1)

As I’m welcomed into a family home, I realize it feels safer than most places I’ve been. Steve, the dog, offers me a ball to play and eventually sits beside me. I sit on a couch, which is comfortable and holds me. And I examine myself.

Lindsey guides the discussion as we get to know each other. Why am I here? What is happening right now for me and my family?

Within our discussion, we begin to explore some of the things I have kept hidden, even from myself. Those uncomfortable feelings that were too difficult to face alone and the blind spots that I could not see. There are so many.
