Coffee with Kym

Today I talked about ways to pick a therapist. I speak a bit about my own experiences picking therapists and how I went about it, ranging from "go to therapy because someone said so" to "I'm ready to change some things in my life". Picking a therapist is hard, and you are not stuck to the first person you choose. Therapists understand that the relationship is crucial and they may not be the right fit for you.

Learning to communicate with your romantic partner is hard work. Constructive I statements (set up as I feel __ about __. I need __.) can help you speak gently to someone about things that you need changed.

You are doing what you can in this very moment. Keep doing your best and offering yourself the grace you offer others even when you think you don't deserve it.

Learning to love yourself is hard, but I believe in you! Developing a sense of self and an identity all starts with finding the language to describe you.

Today we are talking about a very basic scribble art activity. This is designed to be approachable by all individuals and very simplistic in nature. You'll take 30 seconds to draw, eyes closed, a bunch of scribbles on your paper. After you open your eyes, look and see what comes to mind. This is designed to be something enjoyable, not something that requires high skills. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out! :)

This highlights a simple mindfulness exercise that you can do anywhere at any time. It is an activity of connection and creativity to strengthen your ability to imagine and connect with that creative child within you.

Today we talk about your history with art. What does it meant to you. The primary questions I ask are:

-What beliefs did your family have about art?

-When you were a child what type of art did you do?

-What were any negative experiences you had with art as a child?

Today I encourage you to just TRY an art exercise. Super simple drawing lines on paper with various pens/markers/pencils. This is a very low risk activity in just getting used to different art materials. I encourage you to give it a few minutes of your time, maybe listen to a good song and just give it a run.

NEW*** Relationship Road Trip Podcast https://www.relationshiproadtrip.com/

Today we're talking about all the different art-making *stuff*. I talk about the different tools of art ranging from the structured/rigid pen and pencil world all the up to the cool world of alcohol inks (my favorite). I encourage you to wander into an art store some day and just pick out one thing that looks interesting and play with it! (Or go outside and find cool things in nature to make into cool things that look neat.
