Thorin Holley | Black Sheep's Therapy

LPC & author behind Black Sheep’s Therapy. CBT, ACT, Stoicism, Daoism, practical psychology, and the occasional “well… I do that.”

[Thorin Holley | Black Sheep's Therapy @ThorinHolley]

Black Sheep’s Therapy is about psychology, practical wisdom, and living honestly with reality.

Expect CBT, ACT, Stoicism, Daoism, reflection, useful questions, and dry observations.

No forced positivity. No magic wand. Just better ways to think, notice, and choose.

Being afraid doesn’t always mean “don’t go.” Sometimes fear is simply pointing at something important enough to make vulnerability unavoidable.

Some problems need solving. Some need accepting. Some need time. And some desperately need us to stop calling another meeting about them.

“Life can be found only in the present moment. The past is gone, the future is not yet here, and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment, we cannot be in touch with life.”

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

@Art0fThinking Because there is.

Maybe not something dramatic, maybe not on our timetable, but life keeps offering moments worth noticing. Hope doesn’t require certainty; sometimes it’s simply refusing to assume the future has nothing good left in it.

@TrainingMindful We may not always be able to physically leave a situation, but we can stop feeding the pattern with all of our attention and energy. Sometimes “leaving” means withdrawing from the struggle, the rumination, or the demand that reality be different.

[Alan Watts 📖 | Philosophy & Timeless Wisdom ✍️ @AlanWattsQuot]

There is a contradiction in wanting to be perfectly secure in a universe whose very nature is momentariness and fluidity.

[Daily Stoic @dailystoic]

Create a sense of urgency

When we’re pressed by a deadline, we don’t procrastinate. We can use Parkinson’s Law to our advantage. The Stoics did. Memento Mori was their reminder. Marcus said, “You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think.”

[Thorin Holley | Black Sheep's Therapy @ThorinHolley]

@dailystoic Urgency can be useful when it clarifies what matters, but it doesn’t have to become panic. Memento mori is less “hurry up” than “stop spending a finite life on things you already know don’t matter.”

@alexeixbt It reminds me of an idea often attributed to Bruce Lee: the body can take repeated self-talk seriously, even when we call it a joke. The wording may be apocryphal, but the principle matters—what we rehearse can shape stress, attention, and behavior.

[alexei @alexeixbt]

your brain is unable to distinguish between actual danger and imagined threats. negative thoughts harms your body from the inside out.

@QuoteJung Sometimes distance changes the meaning of struggle. We may come to value what we learned, who we became, or what survived. That doesn’t mean the suffering itself was beautiful—or that every painful season needed to happen.

@PsychToday We can’t change the past, but we can change how we relate to it. We can understand the patterns it created, loosen the influence they still have, and choose differently in the present. Healing doesn’t rewrite history; it changes what history gets to decide.
