    It is so normal for other people's stories to be triggering for you. So. Normal. The key component is what we do with and how we respond to those triggers.

  • Therapy Fails
    Oct 19 2021

    Did you know your therapist is human?

    Well of course you KNOW they are. But do you believe they are? Like really believe it?

    When we are floundering in the sea of betrayal, it is so normal to proverbially yell out, "Save me! Someone! Anyone!"

    For some of us, we might completely discard all help. "I can't trust anyone."

    For some, if we are desperate enough, when a therapist, or a coach, or an author presents us with a prescribed path - a fix-all - we might gladly take whatever we are handed.

    Then time passes.

    And some things helped, and other things didn't. And we might feel like we are doing something wrong, or that we just aren't "fixable."

    In these moments, remember... your therapist/coach/educator/spiritual leader is a human. They make mistakes, and they don't have all of the answers for your unique path.

    AND that doesn't mean therapy/coaching/education/spiritual direction are useless. It means we need to be judicious and intentional as we select our specialized guides.

    Tune in for examples and stories to prove my point.
