Hello, new followers👋! About me: therapist (LICSW), adjunct prof, mom, cat lady, book lady, music-lover, masshole. I am both deadly serious and deadly silly.
Heads up for my fellow EMDR therapists who use a BLS website— if your client’s cat catches sight of the ball going back and forth- congratulations, you are now an EMDR therapist for cats, too😹. #therapistsky #emdr

One of JFK’s most enduring legacies is deinstitutionalizing mental health- largely made possible by the advent of successful psychiatric medications. Most people with MI are now able to live in the community. Truly wild for JFK’s own family member to want to tear it all down. #therapistsky

Telling people they “should be terrified” just leads to freezing/shutting down. We want planning and action.

Those of you who were born a Bert and will die a Bert- I see you, I am you.
You either die an Ernie or live long enough to see yourself become a Bert.
