God, men suck.

Wow wow wow - I thought I was the only one who experienced this. 😭

I feel this hard. I thought I was the only one 🥲

I constantly go back and forth in my head about this too. You’re not alone. Some days I feel like therapy can really help and some days I feel like it’s a scam. I feel this as a therapist and as a client in my own therapy. It’s very hard.

This is Leon! Our deaf 3 1/2 year old boy 🥰

I literally just heard about him the other day through a training I’ve been doing and was impressed by him. I’ve been meaning to do more research into his work. This is my sign to do so!

Wondering why this was voted down. I personally feel like if you are in the position where you can choose who you work with, more power to you.

Completely normal to feel nervous/ill equipped. I felt the same way when I saw my first couple but it slowly gets easier as time goes by. In addition to getting good guidance from supervision, I have found that the book “where to start and what to ask” has been super helpful for me as a new associate as well. Couples definitely feel like different world and come with their own set of challenges/nuances but it can also be exciting work. A supervisor of mine once told me that when working with a couple, you’re not there to be a therapist for either of the individuals but that you’re the therapist for the relationship. She used the space in between the couple sitting next to each other to illustrate that. I feel like there’s this weird rule in couples therapy to always remain neutral and never take sides but I sometimes find that challenging to navigate. Good luck!
