Therapists are humans!
Veryyyy common myth is that we never feel low and never ever lose our cool, and we always know exactly what to say and how to process our emotions. This couldn’t be farther from the truth. Or if it is true, we’ve worked damn hard to get there 😆
Sometimes even the agencies therapists work(ed) for expect perfection—expect that we can do it all without batting an eye (and while being overworked and underpaid 😵💫). At Healing House, therapist self-care directly translates to better quality therapy for our clients. We are humans who have specialized skills in helping people to heal. When we can show up for ourselves, we are WAY more equipped to show up for our clients. At least more than we used to be 😉 Our therapists set their own schedules, prices, and boundaries. Because we value ourselves and the services we provide.

It’s the end of January and we’re still (always) thinking about wellness ✨ media inundates us with messages about what wellness looks like and what you “should” be doing. What does it mean to be “well?” At we believe you get to choose your own version of wellness. Working with a therapist you vibe with can help you let go of what isn’t working for you and find what does. So whether you’re making 2022 more mindful or wanting to extend your dry January, consider therapy to deepen your journey!

On the blog, wrote about how to prep for a session—she recommends eating, resting, and journaling before sessions to make the most out of your hour! 💪
One common misconception of therapy is that you need to be super prepared and know exactly what to talk about in session. Sometimes you might even believe that you should have it all figured out before you get to session. That’s a big NOT TRUE…sometimes when you’re not fully prepared it can make room for vulnerable exploration or conversations you didn’t know you needed!

Healing House counselor, Chris Wheeler, LPC, is GEM of a human. He works with a warm approach using both clinical assessment and energetic healing for those who may be feeling lost or ready to do deeper work. He’s ready to meet you where you are, and help you to meet yourself there, too….
Here are some of his words from his latest blog post (link in bio):
“Healing is a journey that is not always (or ever) linear. It is not uncommon to feel really good after a session only to feel really down a few days later. You’ve purged all of this old, heavy energy out of you and now there’s this…emptiness. It’s a vulnerable and uncomfortable place to be! Sometimes you can feel “lower” than when you started because now you feel empty, lost, and emotionally unstable.
The most important piece of encouragement I can offer is to be gentle with yourself during this transitional period.”

New blog post by Chris! We’re posting it a little late, but it’s still relevant, especially if you’ve been feeling exhausted lately— we’re talking about the Lunar Eclipse! Read on to see what Chris says about using astrology in your self-care process and how the recent Lunar Eclipse connects to you ✨
“Self care is important for so many reasons! Utilizing self-care can provide empowerment to oneself, as it can help us see the core beliefs that keep us from embodying our full potential. Astrology can be such a useful tool when delving into self-care: it can assist us in understanding who we are, and it can also provide insight into why we behave the way we do. A great way astrology can help in self-care is to learn one’s natal chart. This unique chart acts as a snapshot into the energies of the sky the moment we were born. The natal chart represents the cards we were dealt in this lifetime, so-to-speak. Acceptance of these "cards" can open up the door to empowerment, as we can then work with that energy to create the life we want to experience.”

Risk of burnout is high during times of transition, so as you are settling into your NEW new normal, check in to make sure you aren’t overextending yourself.

Also, for more reflections on this idea, check out our blog! Links are in bio ✨
