This week I’m talking about things like creating comparison narratives (why is everyone but me so competent/cool; why is everybody mad at me). Why people participate in “pain Olympics” (my trauma is worse than your trauma) and what one single thing allowed me to conduct an effective therapy session under pressure with almost no clinical skills.

Stuff I learned in grad school that I wish I learned in kindergarten

Welcome to One Inch Past Scary! I’m Kirsty, mom of five kids aged 12-24, jack of many trades and currently a graduate student of Clinical mental health Counselling at Northwestern University. I’ve battled complex PTSD and I’m proudly ADHD. I’m constantly reminded that all the good stuff happens when we push just one inch past the scary. I’m here to help you feel seen, to remind you that you are in fact genuinely awesome and to normalise the messiness of healing and life itself. The more I learn the less I know, but I’m offering you everything I can to make your path a little easier. ♥️
