nobody taught us that our schedule was a boundary. they taught us to attune, to be flexible, to show up for our clients. and we do. sometimes at the expense of everything else.

if you’re early in your career and you’re already feeling the weight of a schedule that doesn’t feel like yours anymore, this one’s for you.

tell me which one hit the hardest. 👇

The audacity. The NERVE. The temptation to say yes anyway 😭🫠

Setting limits around scheduling is hard!! We’re wired to help, so turning away a client, even just a time slot, can feel uncomfortable.

But therapists NEED transition time, decompression, a life outside the office. Respecting our limits and honoring our schedule protects our mental health. A regulated therapist = a better therapist.🫶

💬do you struggle with honoring boundaries with your schedule? Let’s process together 😜👇

I love that our country is made up of so many cultures, stories, and identities. That kind of representation matters deeply. Racism is harmful, ugly, and deeply damaging to individuals and to our collective humanity.

So here’s to dancing in our living rooms, celebrating what brings us together.

Anyone else dancing from the couch?? 💃❤️

What’s my theoretical orientation? What population do I want to serve? What’s my specialty? There was so much pressure to have it all figured out so early in grad school and practicum.

I remember watching peers confidently declare their answers and I felt envious of their seeming certainty. Like maybe I was behind or missing something.

Looking back, there’s no way I could have known yet. It took years of real experience for me to discover what actually resonated, and even then, it’s shifted as I’ve grown as a clinician and a person.

So if you don’t know yet, that’s okay. Stay open. Stay curious. Give yourself permission to explore without locking yourself into a set identity. Clarity comes from experience, not pressure.

💬 did you feel pressured to “figure out” early on?? and how did it actually unfold for you?
I’d love to hear from you in the comments 🫶🏼

It’s funny how the same stimulus (client cancels) can cause such a different response depending on the season you’re in.

In practicum, a cancellation felt like rejection. As an associate, it felt like one less paycheck, one more reason to question myself and my choice of this career. 
In early licensure, it was relief laced with some guilt for not working that hour.

And later on… it just feels like breathing room. Time to rest, to catch up on notes or snacks or scrolling memes.

That’s growth.
Not just in skill, but in nervous system regulation. In trusting that rest is still productive. That there are so many ebbs and flows in this work. 

You stop seeing cancellations as personal and start seeing them as part of the rhythm of this work. Sometimes even as an unexpected gift.

👉🏽Mental health pros! What does a cancellation mean to you these days? How has your relationship with cancellations changed over time?

…Just me? 😂

I remember trying to overcompensate for my Insecurity and imposter syndrome by dressing super “professional.”

As my confidence built, my authenticity increased.

What about you?

Suspicious 🤨

When your nervous system has been in “on” mode for so long, calm can actually feel uncomfortable.
Sometimes anxiety shows up the moment we start to relax because our brain doesn’t recognize peace as safe (yet).

If you’ve ever thought, “Why do I feel anxious when things are fine?” I want to reassure you you’re not broken. You’re just adjusting to what regulation feels like.
It takes time for calm to feel trustworthy again. 🫶🏼
