The here and now is important, especially in therapy. But what happens when the therapist has a moment in the here and now that may disrupt the session? Therapy is more than just talking and in it are moments and opportunities to model and teach. Through this episode we explore a moment that I had in therapy and how I couldn't ignore it.

As A therapist I get asked a lot about how I take care of myself. Initially I want to respond with I put myself first but that's not easy because as a therapist my job is putting other people first. But I recognize that if I don't take care of myself through implementing boundaries and creating a safe place for me to relax, I can't do what I love best.....Therapy.

Ahhh Welcome Back for Season 3!!! Todays episode discusses being an introvert. I had this thought the other day that I may be turning into an introvert after being forced at home for over a year. But before I self proclaim that I thought I would have a conversation with a friend whom I met as an extrovert and discuss what the difference is when it comes to our thoughts and actions. The conversation shocked me because now I think I am an introverted extrovert. You'll have to tell me what you think.
