How to Deal with Feeling Jealous of Others
You know what you want when you’re jealous. At least, you know part of what you want. You might (read: probably) need to think deeper about the jealousy, but you at least have a direction that you know you want to move in. That shit is sacred, folks. Would you rather be floating endlessly through life with little to no sense of “ooh, there, I want to go there,” or would you rather have your eye on the thing you want, even though you know you’re not there yet?
What’s it like to go to counseling/therapy?
But also no, therapists don’t just listen. We listen, we encourage, we educate, we advocate, we call bullshit when we see it, we ask pointed questions designed to get you to think deeply about yourself, your life, your actions, your relationships, and we celebrate with you when you achieve what you’ve set out to achieve.
Online Counseling | Why I Chose to Work Remotely as a Mental Health Therapist
Online counseling, telehealth, e-counseling - whatever you prefer to call it, the world of online therapy seems to be a hot topic. Not only has COVID-19 been a major factor, but this field has been ever-growing over the last decade (and with good reason)! The alluring option of being able to talk to your therapist from the comfort of your own home is more available than you think.
Online Counseling for Couples Arguing
What a convenient time to learn how to fight with your partner while we are stuck together due to COVID-19?! Seriously though, we are stuck together with the people in our homes and this creates many, many opportunities to learn (or put into practice) skills to have healthy conflict. I will be the first to admit, we all need the practice. Even if we weren’t legally ordered to stay at home with our families, it’s probable that you’re going to have disagreements on how to navigate through this time.
Online Counseling for Infidelity
Many people fall into one small problem: showing up to a counselor’s office isn’t an option right now, for whatever reason. Maybe you or your partner travel for work and are gone for most weeks out of the year. It could be possible you have children and it’s not possible to drive into the office or there is no one to come to the house to watch the kids. For the most common right now, maybe there is a global pandemic occurring and counselors are only seeing clients via telehealth. Whatever it may be, you can still do the work.
Online Counseling/Online Therapy for Anxiety
To have zero anxiety is a pretty big (and improbable) ask. To have a level that’s able to be joyfully lived with? That’s more realistic (and still hard for some people to attain).
Online Counseling for Couples Therapy & Marriage Counseling
Online couples therapy and marriage counseling, in particular, looks different than individual online counseling, though. If you want a way more detailed version, you might be more interested to read this overview of what you can expect from couples therapy work, but I’ll still hit the highlights for you right here.
Emily | End of Year Reflection
Honestly, if I was going to pick any year of my life to reflect on, it would be this past year. Hands down. 2019 was the year of transition. It was transition and sudden change and everything in between. I’ve been thinking about writing this for the past couple of days and was constantly set back in my thoughts of, “how can I even put words to the experience of the last year?” or “I feel too many things where do I even start to reflect?” I’m a feeler.
