I’m glad investigative energy is being put into providers defrauding our systems, instead of just on the people receiving services. I worked w/ folx on welfare for 18 yrs. It’s hard enough for them just to get & keep benefits, most aren’t trying to defraud anyone.

Ok but the word productivity gave me community MH agency flashbacks 😫 It may have been over a year since I washed my car, just so you don’t get too envious! 😅

Two clients canceled today (and in advance, love that!), so I was able to wash my car for the first time in ages. I even used the tire treatment I bought a while back, so the whole car is shiny 🥰

Many of the things we're going to have to do to take care of ourselves, we're going to do w/ an imperfect attitude-- & you know what? That's fine. I don't need you cheerful & whistling while you keep yourself alive. Trauma & recovery suck. Have an attitude. And, do the stuff.

This is DEEPLY important! Knowing the why doesn’t create change. We can understand all our whys, how we got here, who contributed, but then we need to behave differently. Knowing why can be helpful; but w/o knowing what to do differently or how to do it, we can keep falling in the same damn hole 😫

Therapist colleagues, I’d love your book recommendations, preferably not too intellectual. While I like heady stuff, I’m more in an era of the heart, the body, the mysteries of these lives we’re living. 4/4 #TherapistSky

"If our emotions are disattended to [as children], we learn at a neurological level - in a way that experience-dependent - to disattend. It’s that simple. We learn to be open to & comfortable with a full range of emotions in ourselves & in the other, *or not* [emph. mine]." ~ p.18 #TherapistSky 3/4

So I picked up Essential Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: An Acquired Art by Teri Quatman. It’s pretty interesting thus far and I read a passage today that struck me as something I’ve long been talking about with clients. 2/4 #TherapistSky

I decided to start reading more about psychodynamic therapies, as I didn’t get much exposure to this in grad school or in the first half of my career. I got some info, but not in much depth & especially not after the publicly funded MH world shifted to “evidenced based practices.” 1/4 #TherapistSky

The ancient Greeks had little agreement over the centuries regarding how to portray the seasons as gods. The most common depiction of autumn was fruitful Karpo, one of the original Horae. A goddess of harvest and ripening food, she attended to Persephone. #WyrdWednesday

A procession for a harvest festival, with a man at the front with the staff of Dionysus, followed by a woman holding sheaths of grain meant to be Persephone, followed by a woman attending her long braid extensions or rope knots from her bun, who is holding hands with the woman or man behind her. This is a statue on a wall, with cracks and damages; the person behind the attendant, aka Karpo, is headless.

I decided to give this AI image thing a chance. I think AI has its uses and I don’t want it to stymie my own creativity. Why am I paying for Canva if I’m not going to use it?! 😂 So I was reminded of this quote today and I asked Gemini to make an image for me. Not bad!

White letters on a light green background state, "One of the most important and growing costs of the modern way of life is 'cultural fraud': the promotion of images and ideals of 'the good life' that serve the economy but do not meet psychological needs." by Richard Eckersley. The lower half shows two contrasting images: on the left is a tall, thin woman holding several shopping bags in front of a sports car; on the right are four people sitting around a table, sharing a meal.

Sleep is so important! Sometimes we stay up later than we'd like b/c it's the only "me time" we get during the day. I'm sorry to hear your night owl habits are causing daytime ick! I've found I *need* my consistent sleep, usually 9 hours per night, or I'm a hot mess express the next day 😬

I burned the end of this wooden spoon while cooking recently. I keep using it as a reminder that no one and no thing is perfect. Plus we all make mistakes and they are often survivable. #TherapistSky #DearPerfectionist

Got my flu vaccine and COVID vaccine this week. Here’s to keeping my NOVID status, 6 years & running. Next month at my doc visit, I’ll likely get the RSV vax. As a 50y.o. w/ asthma, I’m at high risk of severe illness if exposed to RSV. What’s your self care and/or community care look like today?

Maybe there’s a lesson in that: knowing what we’re not good at, so we stop chasing what isn’t ours and can be freed up to embody our true gifts. 3/3

I resonate so much with this. I’m not a great verbal storyteller. I ramble and lose the plot with tiny details and listeners get glassy-eyed. But when I write, my words cut right through, like an arrow to the heart. 2/3
