There are times as a therapist when I sit in a session and ask to pause. A pause to really soak in what is being said/realized/acknowledged in that very moment. As we wrap up the year, we find ourselves processing our experiences- the good, the bad, the ugly, and the uncomfortable. In those moments of reflecting, amazing little gems often surface. Today one surfaced. I am so proud of my people.

“This year I learned that I do not have have to live for other people’s applause.”

Living for my our own validation is more applause than we’ll ever need.

It’s ok to not be full of festive cheer. Allow yourself the grace to just be. May we all give ourselves and others a little extra grace and compassion this day and in the year to come.

🙋🏻‍♀️ I am definitely one that goes into catastrophic thinking mode when I am told “We need to talk.” or “Come to my office when you get a chance to talk.” Immediately, worst case scenarios are swirling through my mind and within 20 minutes I have determined that I have made a huge mistake and am being let go.

Who says sandtray play can only happen during in person sessions? Using virtual tools to reach my clients however they need brings such joy to my days. When a client is able to make real life connections utilizing sandtray and I get to witness their lightbulb moments = my WHY. ❤️
