Therapeutic Thursday (1-6-22)
I knew going into today’s session that it would be a muli-tissue session. I lost count of how many, though. I knew because this week my heart has been acting up. It’s more than likely completely harmless and nothing to be concerned about, but I’ve been concerned none-the-less. And the more concerned I get, the…

Therapeutic Thursday (Holiday Edition)
Today was a zero tissue session. We talked a lot about parenting strategies and what my parenting goals should be. I want to give my kids the tools to deal with hard emotions because I feel like I didn’t really have any and I want to foster independence in them both. I went into the…

Therapeutic Thursday (12/16/21)
Why does an hour in therapy go by so fast? I feel like we never get to talk about everything I have inside of me. We touch on a lot of things, but we always seem to go down a rabbit hole and the topic I think I need to talk about the most ends…

Therapeutic Thursday (12/9/21)
My son seems to have become my primary topic in therapy lately. There has been so much drama from him these days. Last week he had a meltdown on the way to school because he’d forgotten to charge his Chromebook for school and didn’t know where his charger was. This week is was his pencil…

Therapeutic Thursday Thanksgiving Edition
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Today has been a very low key day. Due to the holiday, I did not have therapy, so I’ll have to use this blog as my therapy. My kids and I went to my sister’s house over the weekend and celebrated with her family, my brother’s family, and my mom on Sunday.…

Therapeutic Thursday (11/18/2021)
I had to skip therapy last week because of my planned travel and even though I will be traveling again this weekend I didn’t want to skip a second week, especially knowing we wouldn’t meet on Thanksgiving. I had to work, though, so I got there early and went into the guest room to have…

Pre-Therapy Thursday
I’m not sure if I’ll have time to write after therapy, so I thought I’d take some time to organize my thoughts before therapy. Kids One of my biggest anxieties is my kids. I have anxiety about their happiness, passing anxiety on to them, if I’m parenting them the “right” way, if I’m teaching them…

Therapeutic Thursday (10-14-21)
It’s Thursday again! This week has gone by quickly. My kids had Monday and Tuesday off from school, which made this week fly by. Monday the three of us went to Topgolf and played for 2 hours (son’s pick), then on Tuesday we went to the zoo (daughter’s pick). If you recall, my anxiety over…

Therapeutic Thursday on Friday!
I almost canceled my therapy appointment yesterday, given how awful I was feeling. But since it’s a telehealth visit, I decided to give it a try. I made it through the whole session, though we actually ended about 5 minutes early when we are usually cutting off right on the dot. My stomach was not…

Therapeutic Thursday (9/23/21)
This week was a doozie. I’m realizing that I’m putting a lot of pressure on myself to protect everyone around us. Not just my family, but our friends and even strangers. My biggest fear right now is that we could potentially harm someone else unknowingly. Let me back up. I think I mentioned that my…
