Therapy Myth: “Talking about the past just keeps you stuck.”

Not true.

Understanding the past isn’t about blame – it’s about context.
When we explore early experiences, we're not trying to relive them.
We're trying to make sense of how they echo into the present.

Sometimes, the past holds the map to the patterns we’re trying to change.

Therapy isn’t about getting stuck – it’s about getting unstuck.

When children feel safe, seen, and soothed, they can relax into being themselves. From that foundation, play, imagination, and creativity emerge naturally.

It’s not about being a perfect parent or caregiver—it’s about being consistent, responsive, and emotionally available.

A securely attached child doesn’t just feel loved—they feel free to explore who they are.

What does a psychologist actually do when they're not in session?

*Reflecting.
*Reading.
*Formulating.
*Writing notes and treatment plans.
*Sometimes just staring out the window with a coffee, thinking about clients (in a good way).

Because what happens between sessions shapes what happens in them.

Just getting into this book now and can't believe I haven't read it earlier. Really fascinating look into the mind-body connection and psychoneuroimmunology I love Maté's deeply empathetic case descriptions.

The impact of emotional and psychological events on the physical body is so clear!
