I feel like a solid 60% of my #therapy work is answering the question of "is this thing I do normal" in the affirmative. And then caveating that there's really no "normal" for a lot of things, but the behavior they're describing is certainly common.

The #TTRPGTherapy room over at Health Quest is ready for adventure! My groups will be starting up again soon and I am so excited! #ttrpg #Dnd #therapy

I don’t know if #TaylorSwift meant it this way but this is how I feel talking to someone who hasn’t gone to #therapy:

And I keep my side of the street clean
You wouldn’t know what I mean

When you're weary, feeling small, when you're down(hearted) and out and evening falls so hard, seeing bright, vibrant colors can make a world of difference.

The brilliant color in our garden of a fall-blooming rose of Sharon with its lilac petals and carmine and ivory center. The beautiful colors of peppers from our garden with ones brought to us by a neighbor as the peppers simmer in olive oil and garlic.

I officially have a therapist.

Had my first session today. Talked about a new routine (yes, for an #ADHD person 😆) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (#DBT).

Quick notes to myself before I forget them from tonight's therapy session.

* Starting using task lists take complicated tasks out of my brain.
* If a task seems too complex, break it down into smaller chunks until I find a task I think I can complete.
* Consider labelling tasks as main quests & side quests, so that I can consciously productively procrastinate if needed.

Lately I’ve felt better emotionally, physically, mentally, etc than ever before, & it’s because I have been going to therapy over past year to work through long-standing issues.

For the 1st time in 10 years (seriously), I’m off the market (I got Him these flowers yesterday, and it led to our 1st kiss)!

Felt good today, so I did a bike ride around the south half of Lake Washington

BBC News - UK scientists tackle the taboo subject of periods in polar research
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-66659741

Certainly, menstrual freedom should extend to all areas of Earth, but especially extreme and pristine environments like the Artics. However, as important as this issue is, every stakeholder in the #scientificResearch pipeline should be as, if not more, concerned about #SexualHarassment. If #scientificResearch methodology concerns itself with strict avoidance of the smallest chance of #unconciousbias, then that same #methodology should concern itself with the freedoms of all practitioners in the environment in which #science operates, no? #SexualHarassment should not be tollerated anywhere, and the Artics are no exception. If you can't be responsible for your libido without being a #letcher, then you shouldn't go to the Artics. You should go to #therapy.

Yet another argument for more #female lead scientists and administrators. #Scientists, as the educated elite, should be setting an example for others!

…These emotional memories can be very painful and I can understand how people may think they come from nowhere or from a chemical imbalance. Medication helps some people but not all and not fully. Working through the pain can help but finding someone to do that with is hard. It’s funny how society says to go get help and everything will be okay. The help out there is not very good. It is not like on TV.

Ummm... Medical #gender transitioning for #minors isn't a thing. #Children are not receiving gender modification #surgery. #GenderAffirmingCare for minors is limited to #therapy and #hormone #treatment for some individuals. Again, if the #facts were on the right's side, why would they have to #lie?

Dealing with frustrating “circular dependency” re:#burnout

Trying to get software #development job, and need some finished projects to illustrate I can do it…getting burned-out in my current job, because I’d rather be #programming

However, feeling burnout is really inhibiting me from working on my projects 🤬

Hopefully, my new therapist can help me work through this… 😥 Ok, vent over…

I’m so tired, and I have #therapy at 5 tonight and I’m already out of spoons :blobfoxnotlikethis:

I had a great talk about using #TTRPG in #therapy you can find it below!

Got my first introduction to #SandTrayTherapy today. Was really fascinating, my brain is buzzing with possibilities! #therapy #counseling

What do you wish #therapists would know, do, or say when working with #trans community members?

I'm putting a wish list together to share with #narrativetherapy and other #therapy colleagues.
