The Importance of Niching with Brian
My podcast, All My Friends Are Therapists, is back and I am so excited! It feels good being back behind the microphone and for this episode my friend and fellow therapist, Brian Valasek, is joining me to talk about the “importance of niching”. This is an important topic not only for the success of therapistsContinueContinue reading “The Importance of Niching with Brian”
Routines
Photo by Keira Burton on Pexels.com Think about a routine you do every day. Without fail, you do this every day. What does it look like? Maybe it’s not even something you’re aware of. For example, every day after I make a cup of coffee, I always check my calendar. That is the basic formatContinueContinue reading “Routines”
The Last Time
“You’re at the tail end of the time with some of the most important people in your life. One day you will see them for the last time. And it’s actually the same as everything else. The concept of doing something for the last time feels eerie, like something you should only experience when you’reContinueContinue reading “The Last Time”
Can Motherhood be Romantic?
Photo by Palu Malerba on Pexels.com It’s probably not the first word that comes to mind, what with all the diapers, spit up and crumb-filled car seats. The general messiness doesn’t lend well to an idea of romance. Yet, Francis Mallman, celebrity Argentinian chef, loves mess. The Netflix documentary series Chef’s Table featured him inContinueContinue reading “Can Motherhood be Romantic?”

And when is she coming back? Annie is still on maternity leave. Right now, we do not have a predeterminedContinueContinue reading “Updates and FAQs”
Scary Things
I used to hate scary things. Not scary movies or books (like Helter Skelter, that one messed with me for a while), but things that took me outside of my comfort zone. Scary things like quitting my job, starting my own private practice, writing blogs, buying a house, having a baby. Have you ever heardContinueContinue reading “Scary Things”
Time Affluence
You know the feeling. You have something scheduled and then last minute, it’s cancelled. You might feel bummed, regret, disappointment. But you might also feel elation. Suddenly you have a free hour! That feeling, when you have time to do what you want, is called “time affluence”. I have been listening to this new podcastContinueContinue reading “Time Affluence”
Three Bites
I teach my clients about mental gymnastics; the short cuts and double loop-de-loops you do in order to overcome obstacles in your mind. For example, you know that chore or that work task you really don’t want to do? Here’s a trick. Tell yourself you will only work on this task for 5 minutes. SetContinueContinue reading “Three Bites”
