Julie Levin, MFT, Counseling to build strength, courage and resilience

Therapy and coaching for midlife growth. If you're like most people, you've internalized beliefs about yourself and the world through family and culture.

Some of these may be negative, causing shame, guilt, anxiety or anger. Trying to manage these feelings may lead you to behaviors you don't want: avoidance, overeating, overworking, (or some other soothing-distracting activity). Anxiety and shame are also at the root of most relationship problems. It's hard to feel loving when you're feeling bad about yourself, worried or stressed out. But there is also a natural resilience in you, a tendency toward goodness, safety, strength and love. I love helping people tap back into this resilience, nurturing and growing feelings of empowerment, self-protection and aliveness. From this place of strength, we can gently unravel the emotional injuries and traumas that have made you feel stuck. In the process you can reclaim your aliveness and live "wholeheartedly" to quote Brene Brown.

I have been off socials for a while, so this may seem about 10 days overdue. But, for those who are still sad, angry, or otherwise distressed about the election, here are some thoughts...

Before my next post, in which I tell you all about my experience with Psychedelic Assisted Therapy, I want to digress from my usual format/content and offer some solace to those who wanted Kamala to win. We will be okay. This is not to say that we will be happy. I did not want him, Sam I Am. I did n...

While a blog post can't teach you how to love yourself so you actually feel loved, this one does a great job explaining WHY self-love matters so much. I've built my entire practice on teaching clients how to love themselves because I believe this in my bones.

There was a guy I knew in university. He was always in good spirits and made the most of any situation thrown at him. In all the time I…

It was a revelation to discover I had ADHD, even though the discovery came later in life. Looking back, it all made so much sense. Read the full essay here:

Clients find the advice about social connection and longevity/health confusing at times. Are all relationships good for health? NO. This article, offering insights from a Harvard happiness researcher, advises that we take time to notice how relationships leave us feeling - energized or depleted. Keep friends that leave you feeling energized. Let go of the ones that deplete you. He points out that ambivalent relationships - sometimes supportive, sometimes demeaning - are the most toxic. If you know someone who needs help letting go of a toxic relationship, please share this or give them my contact info. I love helping people set boundaries.

My friend is upset — but only for now.

I love this so much. This writer/mom/teacher gave the best answer to her son’s 5th grade class when someone asked “Did anyone ever try to stop you?” Quick read. Totally worth it.

I have tried many platforms for sharing writing (and now art). These days, I'm rarely on FB because So Many Ads plus all the people with Contrarian Personality Disorder (not a real thing, but should be). Anyway, if you're still here, seeing posts, you can find my art on Instagram and starting tomorrow, essays and maybe more on Substack https://theviewfromoverthehill.substack.com/

Come visit soon!

Essays, poems and art focused on the wisdom that comes in midlife and beyond. Click to read The View from Over the Hill, by Julie A Levin, a Substack publication with hundreds of subscribers.
