🍋RESEARCH: PsychologyToday.com is a website that is great for finding the proper therapist that fits your needs. You can narrow details down to what types of issues the therapists treat, what insurance they accept, even which age group you're looking for.

🍋SET TIME FOR THERAPY: Therapy is NOT at all easy at times. Some days you will leave therapy feeling accomplished other days you may feel sad, angry or confused. Make sure when you schedule your appointments you don't have a lot going on afterwards (like work for example) as you take time to process your feelings and emotions you just experienced from therapy.

🍋HOW COMFORTABLE ARE YOU: After many sessions of therapy if you find yourself still not being able to express yourself freely to your therapist start paying attention as to why you think that is. Are you and your therapist not connecting on a personal level? Do you feel the advice being given is not pertaining to what you're going through? Let your therapist know also what you would like from him/her in return. Its a two way ordeal and lets be honest, you and your insurance are paying for the costs so might as well make it worth your time (and money!).

🍋CONSISTENCY IS KEY: Like it or not therapy takes time.... A LOT of time. Its literally helping you retrain your brain from past traumas and helping you understand while forming new habits. Think of it as exercise for your brain, not just your body. You have to trust the process and give it time. When you find the proper therapist for you it will start to show. Dont give up!

🍋LET IT ALL HANG OUT: I know it isn't easy speaking to a complete stranger about your issues. Building trust with your therapist is important in order for you to be able to open up about things you don't even want to discuss in the first place. Always pay attention to the vibes you are receiving when you are therapist hunting.

“First day of school! First day of school!” **in my Nemo voice**
🍋
I would be lying if I told you I wasn’t scared/nervous/doubtful about my first day of graduate school. You grow up having dreams and when you accomplish them it’s like “WHOA! I did it!…. Now what??”. Ya keep going thats what! I’ve always dreamed of making it this far but I’m so hard on myself I never thought I would… or even could. I always remember I’m my biggest critic at the end of the day. I’ve worked so hard to get here all while trying to find myself in the process. Being a mom, working two jobs, school, working on mental/physical/emotional wellness… it’s just been a journey! I’m PROUD of ME! My dream is to help others and it literally brings me so much joy to do so. Don’t stop, keep going, move forward because I PROMISE you there were times I didn’t think I was going to get through and I did… so you will too! 💪🏽

Recently just spoke about this. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a DUCK! Don’t ignore your gut. Quick read below.

Often it’s only after the fact that we discover how little we were getting.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve ignored my “gut” about toxic situations and people just to have it eventually turn out exactly how I expected… TOXIC. You know yourself better than anyone so don’t ignore that anxious feeling you have when a certain person’s name comes across your phone screen, when you are having doubts about inviting a certain someone to an event, or when you feel you should no longer be in that relationship. That’s your subconscious giving you a giant “heads up”. 🍋
