And realizing that most of these theories were created by a bunch of old white dudes and how it may not be entirely informed on the lived experiences of marginalized groups

I never ask that question unless they visibly tense up or their body language changes in another way. As a client I hate that question. If they get quiet, I'd rather ask them "What's going through your mind after my statement/question?"
Tends to get better reflections. 🤷🏼♀️

I feel seen -It’s astounding how much o have deviated from my original CBT and DBT training- toward IFS, somatic and Polyvagal therapy approaches! ..

Currently an intern and very quickly realized grad school has virtually taught me nothing about how to actually be a therapist

And that’s how you know you’re doing it right. I’m not a counselor, but an SLP. You treat your clients like people. Not a theory.

If you haven't already you should learn more about neurodivergence. "Regular" therapy (cbt) has never worked for me bc I'm neurodivergent. I'm 27 and only now found a therapist who knows how to work with neurodivergent ppl

do people actually feel feelings in their body... like the most that'll happen to me is a headache if im stressed, but other than that feelings are not accompanied by physical sensations

My therapist hit me with the “oh wow, I didn’t know you could tell the future” when I went through a “what if” crash out

my fav is asking 'given the average person can have approx 60000 thoughts per day, how do you determine which thoughts to listen to and which ones to ignore?'

90% of our training is to handle the 10% of events that would otherwise knock us for a loop when we experienced them. That being said, is you've done your own work as a therapist, almost every step of the 90% is leading to that place anyway, so it all fits together.

The fact that I'm actively doing my masters but none of the theories really apply to my clients so I do this already anyway 😂😭

so far, all of my positive feedback has been about how real and non-clinical i am. i count that as a win and see no reason to change it now

I actually am not a fan of the phrase, where do you feel that in your body, that doesn’t register with every client, it’s an awkward default response imo. I think it should be retired 😭 so many other ways to engage

Me about to go into my CMHC wondering how exactly I focus on PMDD clients when I'm learning more focus on what some old white dudes came up with decades ago.
