Whether it’s a physical characteristic, a mannerism, a struggle, a strength, or anything else… you probably remind me of someone…

(… it is sometimes even myself that I recognize in you. 🥰)

I don’t know if this is a common trait of therapists or if it’s just me.

✨ But I have found, the more I sit in the incredibly sacred and unique space of vulnerability with people, the more threads of uniqueness *and* commonality I find. 🌈

It’s wild to sit in this space as a therapist, witnessing the tender shame of aloneness so many people feel when I sometimes wish I could just beam into peoples brains and hearts just HOW NOT alone they really are! 💫

💖 So this is my therapist love note to you today:

You are less alone than you think.
There are unseen threads all over you, connecting us all together in a million unseen ways. 🙏🏼

🏔️ I am thankful for the view. 🏔️

🔹 There is truly nothing in this world we want more than to do right by our kids.

✨ Especially if there are cycles of abuse, mistreatment, or general societal beliefs you are trying to change within your own family.

💖 It’s a heavy weight to be a cycle-breaker.

🔹 Something I sometimes notice, however, is a underlying strain of perfectionism that can develop in trying to carry out that role…

I sometimes worry if this heavy weight of cycle-breaking also leaves our parenting generation with a great deal of anxiety to get it right….

🔹To get it perfect. 🔹

If you are feeling crushed by shame spirals, driven by fear and perfectionism in your parenting journey, know there is support for you.

Suffering is NOT a requirement to parent.

A lot has happened since this first selfie on the first day in my new office, beginning my new private practice almost 4 years ago. 💗

The version of me back then felt so many things and did so many things.
I’m so proud of her.

This version of me now, the one about to take a huge leap into the next beautiful thing, is feeling so many things and doing so many things.

I hope future me will be proud too. ✨

Thank you, , for everything you’ve given me by sharing your vision, your space, and your enthusiastic support.
It has made more of a difference than you’ll ever know.

🔹 New office location for “Kate Acton Counseling” begins tomorrow. 🔹

5845 Horton St., Suite 202, Mission, KS 66202.

See y’all there. 💗

I won’t share or repeat HHS Secretary RFK Jr.’s ugly words here or anywhere on my socials.

🗣️ But to make this loud and clear:

People with autism are a MOTHER FU***NG GIFT. Period.

Not because they’re “special” or “super human” or “inspirational” or “pitiable.” But because Autistic people are HUMAN, full of worth and deserving of dignity, respect, and adequate supports, always.

What really “destroys families” is not autism.
It’s the disgusting attitudes and the resulting policies and social conditions represented by his statements. 🙅🏼‍♀️

➡️➡️ If you work with me and autism is a part of our work in any way, know that we WILL discuss the anti-disability, disability justice, and eugenic legacies connected to autism.

And this is it.
In. Real. Time.

… To be so loud and so wrong, I can’t imagine… 🥴
