Personal share: how feeling like a hypocrite motivated me to change

September 2, 2020

I have always felt a bit hypocritical when I tell a client that exercise will help their mood.
I know it’s true because there are hundreds of studies that prove this to be factual information. However, I have always had difficulty motivating myself to use exercise for my own mood, energy level, and overall health.

When your feelings get in the way of living

August 26, 2020

When trauma is your normal

A promise from a therapist

May 14, 2020

AS A THERAPIST, I WON’T:
Try to fix you.
Give you advice.
Tell you what to do.
Pretend I know more about you than you do.
Assume what is best for you.
Have all the answers.
Make the hard stuff go away.

A Life Perspective
