you are not a machine. you are more like a garden. you need different things on different days. a little sun today, a little less water tomorrow. you have fallow and fruitful seasons. it is not a design flaw. it is wiser than perpetual sameness. what does your garden need today?

🙃 Hot Take for CBT Therapists: Maybe your client’s thought *IS* accurate.

In Cognitive Behavior Therapy, we work with people to question whether thoughts or worries “fit the facts.” For example, we ask people with anxiety if their fear is accurate – and it often isn’t.

To students and instructors alike - make concerns known, it changes things!

This semester concern was raised about a photo in a textbook that could be potentially triggering for some students (image of a person actively engaged in self-harm). Based on this student identified concern the publisher was contacted and the image redacted from future printing.

While gathering information for a class assignment today I came across a listing for my local crisis pregnancy center that said it was related to family planning/pregnancy.

I called. No birth control options provided. So why the guise?

spoiler alert: I already know the answer

Just a reminder to NOT TAKE WOMEN WHO ARE STABLE ON THEIR ANTIDEPRESSANTS OFF THEM PRIOR TO TRYING TO CONCEIVE OR IN PREGNANCY

Survivors have long told us what words not to use: “relax,” “just relax,” or “open wide.”

Written out of context perhaps these words look obvious. But care providers in all roles of our teams say these without a second thought.

Revisit your scripts to find new language.

“But who really has the energy to be angry — or even to advocate for change — when they’re just trying to get through the day?”

Bravo. Today, @TJCommission began publicly reporting individual hospitals' C-section rates.

“By identifying hospitals with consistently high cesarean rates, The Joint Commission aims to encourage leaders to... safely reduce their rates,” said David Baker.
