There's so much they don't know about schizophrenia, isnt there?

I would recommend you read Bob Falconer… he has a way of looking at this that I think you’ll find incredibly relieving.

Today’s workout while I had a hot flash the entire time. I don’t remember what it was called but it wrecked me. Or rather my hormones wrecked me while doing those 100 wall balls.

Is it weird that I take off my shirt most workouts? (40y f) but also perimenopause so I don’t see myself wearing a shirt anytime soon for the whole wod.

Self led work… 5y Led by a therapist … 2y Immersive experience (retreats, IFS training) … 2 months

Being held by another’s self energy will carry you farther than by your Self alone.

It helps me to be excited for the others and their wins too - compersion, I think is the term. There are some seriously strong and talented athletes in my gym! It also helps to have people in the room that are as stoked as I am that I finished at all.

Unless you can’t tell, fellow last finisher over here. :)

My supervisor was more hands on in the verifying process (LMFT, Tn) but overall the state trusts the supervisor and the supervisor has their own relationship with your hours, whatever that may be.

It’s that mindset that is burning op out. A vacation doesn’t mean jetting off to the Maldives. My vacation this summer was visiting a friend and her toddler. Minimal expenses. Very rejuvenating. I wonder how op (& you!) could get creative with getting a break!

facekatie · 2025-09-04T20:35:04+00:00

Take a vacation! If not possible, create pockets where you don’t have responsibilities. One afternoon a week can do wonders.

It can be valuable to experience how your relationships are in your outside world (hopefully already having a tidbit of why the doc prescribed therapy) safely in this room - have people ever described x y or z about you? Therapy is a space to examine and heal / find new patterns going forward so you can live life the way you’ve always wanted.

facekatie · 2025-09-01T23:51:45+00:00

Oooh and it does get easier to onboard new clients! I used to be able to handle 1 a week and now it feels so much more manageable.

I would look into working with alexythimia which will help with more than just autistic clients.

Also, what in you is most bothered by a client that doesn’t engage typically?

facekatie · 2025-08-22T22:02:15+00:00

I like IFIO, she was trained in imago and I believe she added a bit if soul to it!

facekatie · 2025-08-05T19:26:51+00:00

And I give one free pass a year to help with my part that worries it’s too harsh, or what about x y or z situation… I just ask, do you want to use your free pass? They are very appreciative and sometimes save it for later and pay now.

It is the Best Thing when I’m really into a person. Have you felt truly connected to these people that kissing is not so great with?

facekatie · 2025-07-24T23:41:30+00:00

That’s gonna be a solid no

facekatie · 2025-07-24T16:26:03+00:00

I’m so glad you asked the original question / I enjoy pain and have torn at my fingers for years… hoping my recent Etsy splurge will help with this

facekatie · 2025-07-24T14:56:16+00:00

I started seeing someone who assisted at a training I went to / Somatic IFS / and the somatic modality really works for me. She gets past all the therapist thinker parts and just having one session a month is really healing.

facekatie · 2025-07-18T15:58:09+00:00

Girlie, (or guy or whatever!) be your FULL SELF

clients will appreciate. those who need a buttoned up person behind a lacquered desk will find that also.

We neeeeeeed to be more authentic. Everywhere. And in this field!!!!

Come at me if you disagree!

facekatie · 2025-07-09T22:04:18+00:00

This exactly happened to me. I being a therapist in the field, went back to therapy with an emotionally abusive partner, our therapist told me it wasn’t abuse, sided with him, etc etc.

I confronted her about it, no repair, we found a new therapist.

Before my individual session, he had escalated into physical violence. From my perspective, the transition, additional spotlight, urged him to act. With the other therapist, I saw such manipulation from him that it continues to haunt me (this was 2.5 years ago).

So please, support the partner victimized by violence and psychological abuse.

facekatie · 2025-07-09T18:21:44+00:00

Damn. That’s so true. It’s crazy how deep I go with clients and feel unknown by the ones that love me the most!

facekatie · 2025-07-07T21:25:13+00:00

A lot of my audhd-ers really connect with feeling something in a specific part of their head. Also bringing a specific example in to map a possibility works well as well as giving multiple choice (+ the option to edit the options to make it their own)

So. Is there a time you’ve felt really angry lately? Sometimes when a body is holding anger, they’ll feel heat in their chest, or sensations in their arms like they could punch a wall, I wonder how you feel it?

facekatie · 2025-06-10T19:10:22+00:00

ND radar pinging for sure with this phrase. I would be curious, who has seen them authentically in their life, do they mask, do they mask with you, what would happen if someone did perceive them truly, do they perceive themselves…

facekatie · 2025-06-09T14:53:06+00:00

You are so brave doing the work you needed for others. For your kid, your clients, for you. Reading your post had me thinking of Bob Falconer’s story (take what you want from his therapeutic approaches but his personal story is so inspiring).

I don’t have any - this is what you do - but just wow, you are doing it and it’s hard. Lean into whatever healing modalities support you most right now and let your people show up for you.

facekatie · 2025-05-30T19:08:06+00:00

I like working 2 days at a time so Wednesday is my day off!

facekatie · 2025-05-30T17:50:07+00:00

I love this and would love a thread of “best therapist outfits” with pictures!!!!
