đź§  Common Myths About Therapy

Thinking about therapy but not sure what to expect? Let’s clear up a few common myths.

🔹 Myth 1: Therapy is only for people with serious problems.
Truth: You do not have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many people come to explore relationships, manage stress, or build emotional awareness.

🔹 Myth 2: The therapist tells you what to do.
Truth: Therapy is collaborative. You will explore your thoughts, feelings, and patterns with guidance, not prescriptions.

🔹 Myth 3: Therapy is just venting.
Truth: While talking things through can help, therapy also offers tools, insight, and strategies that support real change.

🔹 Myth 4: If therapy works, it works quickly.
Truth: Change takes time. Therapy supports lasting growth, not quick fixes.

Therapy is a place for reflection, growth, and healing. Whatever you are facing, support is available.

Mental load vs. emotional labor: What’s the difference?

Mental load is the invisible task of keeping everything organized—remembering appointments, managing to-do lists, planning meals, and making sure things get done.

Emotional labor is the work of managing feelings—your own and others’. It includes staying calm during conflict, offering reassurance, and smoothing over tension.

In many relationships, one person silently carries both. Over time, that imbalance can lead to burnout, resentment, or disconnection.

Therapy can help clients name what they are carrying, create healthier boundaries, and work toward more equitable dynamics—at home and beyond.

📌 How to Know If Your Therapist Is the Right Fit

Starting therapy is a big step. Finding the right therapist can make all the difference.

Here are a few signs your therapist might be a good fit:

✅ You feel safe enough to be honest, even when it’s uncomfortable
✅ You don’t feel judged, dismissed, or rushed
âś… They listen closely and remember what matters to you
âś… You leave sessions with new insight, clarity, or direction
âś… Your therapist welcomes feedback and adjusts the approach if needed

Therapy is not always easy, but it should feel collaborative and respectful. If you feel unseen or stuck in sessions, it is okay to speak up or explore other options. The relationship itself is part of the healing process.

đź§  You deserve support that truly feels supportive.

Healing doesn’t always come with fireworks. It often looks quiet, slow, and maybe even invisible to others.
It’s getting out of bed on a hard day.
It’s taking a deep breath before reacting.
It’s noticing a critical thought, but choosing not to believe it.
It’s setting one small boundary that used to feel impossible.

Progress isn’t always loud or linear. Sometimes it’s choosing something different; something kinder, just once. And that once matters.

The small moments you often dismiss? They are signs of growth. They are you, healing in real time. đź’›

You can’t logic your way out of a pattern your body learned to survive.

That’s where expert help matters. Someone who understands how the system works and how to gently support change from the inside out.

When emotions are high, in our families, our feeds, or the news, it’s easy to feel flooded.
You might notice your heart racing after scrolling, or find yourself carrying tension from a conversation hours after it ended. Maybe you’re reacting more strongly than usual, snapping at someone you love, or shutting down when things get heated. That’s not weakness, that’s your nervous system doing its best to protect you.

In a world that often demands instant opinions, quick replies, and constant engagement, therapy offers something different:
A pause. A place to breathe. A space where you can untangle what’s yours from what you’ve absorbed.

You don’t have to carry everything alone or figure it all out in real time.

Therapy helps you process what you’re holding so you can respond with intention, rather than react from overload.

Over time, you can build tools to regulate, set boundaries, and find clarity in the midst of emotional noise, both online and off.

Let’s talk about emotional regulation.

A lot of people think it means staying calm all the time. Or not getting upset.
But that’s not it.

Emotional regulation is about knowing what you're feeling and choosing how to respond.

It's the difference between reacting in the moment...
and taking a breath before you speak.

It’s giving yourself space to feel without needing to fix, avoid, or explode.

You don’t have to ignore your emotions to manage them.
You just need to listen to them differently.

What helps you regulate when emotions feel big?
Is it movement, music, deep breathing, stepping away?
Let’s share! someone might need your input today.

What do you wish you knew about mental health when you were younger?

Maybe no one told you that struggling didn’t mean you were weak. That anxiety wasn’t a flaw in your character. That rest is not something you have to earn. That your emotions weren’t “too much”, they were simply human.

You might have felt like you had to keep it together for everyone else. Maybe you learned to hide your pain, to stay quiet, to push through. But you didn’t have to. And you still don’t.

What would you tell your younger self about mental health, if you had the chance?

Share it below. Your words might be exactly what someone else needs to hear today.

Hey therapists. It’s rough out here for our trans clients. I’m offering a training on February 22 aimed at helping therapists support their trans and gender-expansive clients who are seeking safety, whether that is by moving to a safer state or by enhancing internal and external safety resources.

For those of us that work with trans clients, it has been a week. I’m seeing lots of questions on ways to support these clients, so I’m offering an open Q&A space to ask those questions, share resources, and hold space for one another as we navigate this together. Let’s strengthen the safety net for our trans clients together. If you’d like to submit questions or ask for resources ahead of time, shoot me an email or DM, and I’ll be sure to address everything we have time for next week. Note: this will not be recorded. Link in bio to register!
