Are you in therapy? β
βAre you in your own therapy? Hey, no judgment either way- I've been in therapy and not been in therapy during my time as a therapist. There are barriers for us, just like all clients, to enter that process. As much as we support the idea, what about the time, the energy, and/or the cost? You may have thoughts like I do, "Do I really need it? Would I be, 'taking a spot' from someone else? I'm okay, I just need some time off..." Do you relate?
Earlier this year I researched alternatives to some of the larger directories for therapists and while I was doing so, I came across The Therapy for Therapists Collective. I kept thinking, wouldn't it be great if therapists could give an hour/get an hour from each other? Well, great news, that's what this organization does. I joined earlier this year and I have recently been matched with both a client and a therapist-I'm getting ready to start with both, and I'll keep you posted on how my own therapy is going. It's been too long since I've been a client and I'm looking forward to the support.
β
If you're interested in joining, here's the website for The Therapy for Therapists Collective - it's a small monthly fee, as a member you can join their meet-ups, support groups, educational opportunities, and also be matched with a therapist as well as a client.

I've also promised my Twitter (yes, I'm still calling it that!) fam that I'll send you a coupon/discount code for my brand-new digital journal, Reassuring Self-Talk. Full transparency: I just need to figure out how to do that as I'm new to this! I haven't been feeling well this week so please be patient while I prioritize taking care of myself. (Noticed what I did there?) I've linked it if you want to check it out in the meantime!

Welcome to the π§₯ Cardigan Club π§₯ Put on your fav cardigan, grab your beverage, get cozy, and enjoy! Checking In I started to write a whole thing about boundaries and timeliness in sessions, which is what we discussed in our last live meet-up. It was a great discussion!

Cardigan Club I'm going to be honest and vulnerable: I have no idea what to say right now, except this. I don't want to make it about me (more than I already have, lol)...but I know others are going through similar circumstances, so here goes:I've had COVID for the past 2 weeks. This has been scary, frustrating, and hard for a number of reasons. I definitely have noticed less energy. I made the decision to postpone and reschedule my EMDR training, the main thing I was going to give focus to...
