POV: Your human rights loving therapists and clients today. Therapy is political. Healthcare is political. Human rights are political for anyone who is not a cis, straight, white male.

Did you know therapy could look like this? These are actual shots from the park where I do walk-and-talk sessions. Therapy can happen in a quiet room or on a screen, but it can also happen in nature, moving your body, walking side-by-side with your therapist or sitting on a bench with a view!

Last night I got to see THE @brenebrown in conversation with @adamgrant. It was a wonderful night full of laughter, insights, and connection.

Join me for Book Club Friday, Oct 2 as we discuss Priya Parker’s first book, The Art of Gathering. Register at the link in the bio.

📖Last night’s author talk with @priyaparker on her new book The Art of Fighting, hosted by the amazing Claudia Vega of @whosebooks and @readwitharco was incredible. Parker dropped so many brilliant nuggets! Also, her fit was 🔥 ⚡️She talked so eloquently about something I feel passionately about- conflict is necessary for connection. 🤫Parker described the utter shock of friends and family when her parents divorced because they never really fought. This taught Parker that “there’s loss in avoidance.” 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽Conflict can be hard and messy, yes, but it can often signal how important a relationship is to you. Parker repeated several times “conflict is relevance.” We fight about things that are important to us with people who are important to us. And fighting is a skill that can be learned and honed. 📚Reminder that we’re reading Parker’s 1st book, The Art of Gathering for Book Club meeting Friday, Oct 2 @7pm. Link in the bio. I can’t wait to share more about this conversation and the connections Parker drew between gathering and fighting!

Is your algorithm trying to tell you something? Does your nervous system need a makeover? I got you!

Hugo wants you to know you’re worthy and loved. He also wants to know if you have any food. Or would like to scratch his butt. But mostly he wants you to know you’re a lovely, perfect human.

Be more like Dolly.

Join me Friday, Oct 2 to read The Art of Gathering by @priyaparker. I chose this book for this season when we’re preparing to do more gathering and celebrating. 🔗 in the bio It just so happens the author has a new book, The Art of Fighting coming out this month! I’m really looking forward to reading it.

Where do you sit when you go to therapy? You don’t have to overthink it! 🪑Option 1: ask the therapist 🛋️Option 2: wherever you want. I personally don’t care where I sit. I’ve sat on the floor with clients before. What matters is- are we connecting? Are we a good fit? Do you feel safe? What other questions do you have about therapy? Put them in the comments👇🏼!
