My icks about parents from a child therapist. If ICK means inspirational courageous, and kind, then I have the joy of working with the ickiest community in the world! #parenting #mentalhealth #ick #therapy #familytherapy

Replying to @Amberlee' Brooks you can send as many reality checks as you want, but how many have been cashed in? Ive tried your approach for a few years and it left me burnt out and bitter. My current style has been much more successful for me and its made my work with parents more rewarding.

2 questions to ask if you know someone who is feeling unmotivated and lost. Really nice way to quickly get to know someone (unless they’re teenagers). I love creative ways of building connections with others. #therapy #parenting #relationships #motivation #depression #teenagers

Replying to @watchmewhitwhit parents have a big impact on their kid’s behaviors. However, this issue is multi-faceted and its unfair to simply glame the parents. The schools play an important role in setting boundaries and consequences at school as well. It’s important we work together as a village to help our kids rather than pointing fingers. #parenting #genalpha #teachers

#duet with @ArthurPBS I’m really liking the tone shift from PBS. This is cold as ice! #pbskids #arthur

Replying to @voiceofgoddessweap0n this is a delicate topic, but it’s an important one. I left out a lot of details, but tried to capture the main essence. #narcissist #parenting #imgladmymomdiedbook #therapy #mentalhealth

#stitch with @Professor Neil Elf on The Shelf has grown in popularity because it is a more concrete representation of Santa Claus. Not that i agree with its use of coercive control, but it makes sense it would become so popular from a developmental perspective #elfontheshelf #parenting #teachers #greenscreen

Replying to @The Millenial Protagonist there’s so many layers to this: 1. The sun symbolizes Chili’s emotional and physical warmth. 2. Chili and the sun have the same voice and use almost the exact same words. And 3. Chili and Bingo experience almost the same emotions of letting go. Its truly fascinating

The best book I read in 2022. I’m Glad My Mom Died by @jennettemccurdy. It was the just right amount of trauma to detail to experience what she was going through, but not enough to overwhelm the reader. She also has a great sense of dark humor. #therapy #traumaconnoseiur #trauma #books #therapist
