@im_all_id I had an old guy say, “Gonna be 81 tomorrow”. I said, “Hope so”, thinking he was talking about the weather. He wasn’t…the next day was his birthday.

At church on Sunday, someone had a grief-induced panic attack & needed to step out, & another member of our church, who is a counselor, talked with them. I want to share what he said, because it so ministered to me personally:

I spoke to a college class of social service workers tonight and they were some of the most passionate, kind people (as expected). I’m so thankful for social workers and social service workers, you’re such MVPs in this field ❤️

Sometimes clients don’t share things because they don’t want to be a burden to therapists.

Therapists are trained to hold space for you. We’ve heard a lot of things.

Let us help you. It’s okay. We can handle it.

Paid internship opportunity, please share!

A startup I'm advising is looking for a therapist (licensed or working towards licensure) with an interest in relationships and couples therapy.

The internship runs from 3/7 to 4/15 and will be 10 hours/week. Compensation is $40/hour.

[Michael Fulwiler @MichaelFulwiler]

A lot of things are therapeutic.

Only therapy is therapy.

Your therapist thinks about you, too.

That’s it. That’s the tweet.

Therapists be like “I know a place” then take you back to your childhood

[Dr. Jen Wolkin | ADHD + Trauma Therapist @drjenwolkin]

Let’s normalize not demanding anyone retell/relive their entire trauma experience in order to heal.

[Laura Osorio @ItsLauraOsorio]

If it happens though, we also love self-compassion around here 👊 #TherapistsConnect

@jakewisk @sheologian @MichaelFulwiler Yessssss I love that

[Laura Osorio @ItsLauraOsorio]

@jakewisk @MichaelFulwiler That’s so good to hear! I’ve realized that the capacity for seeing clients really differs from therapist to therapist. I found I was feeling burnt out seeing 6 or 7 in a day, so now I try not to see more than 4. It must really depend on the clinician 😊
