You’re not a problem to solve, you’re a person to understand.

It’s about finding the you that exists underneath the coping, the patterns, and the noise.
That version of you is still there, therapy just helps you see them again.

What’s one thing therapy helped you find, not fix?

My Popa is 94 and each year since his 90th I have been sharing with you all what we call “Popa-isms” and here are some from the last year that I think you all might like.
✨ If you are at the age when you can do it, I say just do it.
✨ You gotta enjoy life, even at my age, I enjoy it every day.
✨ You’ll look back and be able to say that was good.
✨ You can’t not do things because you might die you wouldn’t get out the front door.
✨ You always have to have fresh bread and clean underwear.
✨There are worse things at sea.

If you haven’t seen it on my YouTube I have an interview with him that really was a privilege to do and he has many more nuggets of knowledge to share.
