Reframe Counseling

If I’m doing a virtual session from my home, chances are you’ll see the flick of a tail or a whole cat readjust off to the side. (No fear, she does not go into the office with me for in person sessions!) This is Skylar, and her favorite place to be is wherever her human is. I felt like I needed to include her in my About Me section because she’s such a constant presence. She keeps a very low profile, though, preferring to stay off camera. 😊 Pets are such an important part of many people’s lives. They provide connection, love, and purpose. Always feel free to introduce yours!

If you ever find yourself flooded with the urgency of “extra” tasks when you’re trying to focus on something truly important, this tip is for you. Simple and effective, try including a “Not To-Do” list to manage all the little rabbit trails that can emerge. I wrote about it in the latest blog! Link in bio.

If you or someone you know has been impacted by the flooding in Texas, this is a resource you may consider sharing. I’m in the Spring Health network of EAP counseling providers and was so happy to learn they’re donating $500k in services for those affected by flooding in Texas, New Mexico, and North Carolina. For find out more, visit .health or email me at laura@reframecounseling.net and I’d be happy to pass along more info.

Do you have moments from your adolescence that you look back on and immediately cringe? Well good news! Researchers can actually see these wild and strange behaviors in almost every species- from baby trout to teenage penguins! I highly recommend “Wildhood” to any parent, teacher, or former teen (so everyone!) to get a better understanding of what goes on in these important years. Whether it helps you understand your own history better or gives you perspective on the antics of the young people around you, this book is full of humor and ah-ha moments. You’ll probably walk away with deep appreciation of how we’re wired for survival and the many long-term benefits of challenging experiences.

Last week I said goodbye to my job as a Counselor at Collin College and transitioned full time into private practice. 💙 Even though this was the plan, actually leaving was very difficult. I’m so grateful for the friendships, community, and opportunity to serve students I received there!

We avoid the things we’re worried about. It’s only natural. But it can also keep us stuck in a cycle of fear and we can miss out on so much. If this is your experience, reach out. I’d love to work with you.

A little psychology history for you! While we still have so much to learn about the mind and the best ways to treat symptoms, it’s helpful to reflect back on how far we’ve come. What I like most about Dix’s story is that she didn’t just see a problem and continue on with business as usual. She diligently researched, documented, and advocated for change, improving care and outcomes for countless people. We can all take something away from her example.

Neurologist, psychologist, and Holocaust camp survivor Viktor Frankl writes about the key to living through difficult times in Man’s Search For Meaning. He takes readers through his experience living through a time of deadly persecution and near hopelessness. He writes about how essential the creation of meaning, no matter how small, was to survival. This is one of those books you’ll return to throughout your life. Consider adding it to your reading list!

“Being human always points, and is directed, to something, or someone, other than oneself—be it meaning to fulfill or another human being to encounter.”
