A cartoon image of a mid-length haired human with both hands up facing the viewer as if to say "stop." Caption: "TOXIC BEHAVIORS I STOPPED NORMALIZING:

Trying to fix problems I didn't create.
Laughing off hurtful comments to keep the peace.
Apologizing for having needs or boundaries.
Accepting half-effort relationships.
Feeling guilty for saying no.
Ignoring red flags because I wanted to "see the good."
Tolerating disrespect because I "understood their trauma."

A man in a dark blue hooded robe stands in the forest. He has one aged hand on a tree that he is partially concealing himself with. His eyes glow gold, and his beard is long and white. It is a starry night. Caption: "Therapy is expensive, getting lost in the forest and becoming the thing that terrifies the townspeople is free."

No lie. I get a spike in business over the holidays. There may be a few clients I see *solely* between Turkey Day and New Years.
A family of three, mom, dad, and adult child, eating thanksgiving dinner. Mom: "For what it's worth, honey, your turkey isn't nearly as disappointing as last time." The caption: "THANKSGIVING. Keeping therapists busy since 1621."

Post from @blkgirllostkeys: "I asked my therapist why I couldn't get past something I really needed to get past. And we concluded I couldn't admit even to myself how much it hurt. Because I didn't want to be hurt. So i refused to be hurt. But here I am years later, hurting. 

Feel your f***ing feelings."

THERAPIS: So what actions did you take this week to help release dopamine in your brain?

THERAPIST: *sprays me with a water bottle*

The autumnal equinox is in 4 days, so the darkness is upon us. Thankfully, there is a lot you can do to fight Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). One of the easiest methods is getting a full spectrum light or light box, AKA a "happy light." This Mayo Clinic article can help you get set up.

Batman is sitting on a psychotherapist's couch, arms crossed, legs crossed, looking grim. There is a McDonald's Happy Meal box sitting on the floor next to him. Slightly behind him is a therapist in a big comfy leather chair with a pen and a clipboard. The therapist says, "Let me guess. The happy meal didn't help?"
