iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I decided to begin a substack where I share about some of my experiences as a therapist. Mostly, this is a space to process my journey using the craft of writing, which I love. But, maybe some of it will resonate with folks too: open.substack.com/pub/atherapi...

Trans is sacred. Trans is beautiful. Trans is powerful. 🏳️‍⚧️ In honor of #TransDayofVisibility today, therapist member Logan Kim shares affirming words for Trans folks. On TDOV & beyond, we encourage you to join us in uplifting our Trans siblings in the face of continuous violence and oppression.

Conversion therapy is beyond medical abuse. ❌ Conversion therapy is medical oppression. ❌ Conversion therapy is medical violence. ❌ We must put an end to it once and for all. Hands off our trans and queer fam! Keep your colonial nonsense the hellllll away from us!

Let's be clear - Autism is not a disease. Autistic folks do not need to be "cured".

It's been an onslaught of heinous 💩over the past few months. Record keeping is imperative when corruption is the norm. My partner @dludwinski.com has been compiling records, articles, etc documenting the rise of authoritarianism - peruse at your leisure: whatssobadabouttrump.com

Crisis orgs like the National Crisis Line (988) are often not safe for folks, especially BIPOC, LGBTQ+, first-gen, etc because they can and will call police to support "well checks", etc. The following are alternative crisis support options that do not contact police @inclusivetherapist.bsky.social

Communication is the number one reason couples come into my office - usually this means wanting to feel understood and validated, while experiencing some empathy for their experiences/perspectives. The Gottman-Rappoport Method is excellent for facilitating this type of communication. #couplestherapy

Fear Cycles (Woodsfellow and Woodsfellow; 2018) have been coming up a lot in my work with couples recently, especially the fear of not getting what we need if we abandon these patterns. Here is some information about Fear Cycles, how they present in relationships, and how to confront them. #couples
