This is a conversation that I often have with my teen clients, who get home from school and just want to be alone in their rooms. A day of being tested, nagged, under fluorescent lights, and ungrounded- and you haven’t had peace all day. Our environments play a vital role in our mental wellbeing

I love being a behaviorist. It's not as cold and robotic as the stereotypes go. No, being a behaviorist means to look at life with a particular kind of lens, that treats life as an experiment and helps us come up with some good ideas on why things happen the way they do. I found this study fascinating

Annoyance is the price we pay for connection... I love that statement! I encounter so much loneliness in my practice. When I help people work towards building community, feelings of burnout, overwhelm, and fears of rejection tend to emerge. It's hard to develop new skills of connection when we've been conditioned to isolate. I hope to help you build your community!

Here's an article I wrote about the problems with the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, and our pathologizing paradigm in general:

The DSM certainly helped organize dysfunctions, and it provides an understanding of symptomology (the behaviors associated with problems), but disorders have become so integrated into our culture that we're now defining ourselves by them.

Sometimes the problem isn’t life.
It’s you overthinking a handle.
