If you follow a lot of mental health and wellness accounts, you've definitely heard the ever-so-common buzzword "self-care." It's actually way over-used in my opinion. And I also think the fact that it's over-used causes people to really miss the boat on what it's all about and how it works for YOU. So, let's discuss my version of this topic.. and you can bet it's not going to be the same thing you've heard about self-care before. Let's dive in!

Jaclyn specializes in working with adults, mostly women in their 20's and 30's, on life-transitions, self-compassion, relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, and gender and sexual-identity concerns. Jaclyn and I talk about transitioning from in-person to virtual therapy, themes we are seeing with our patients during this time and how to navigate all of this. We also talk about the dangers of toxic-positivity, switching career paths (a topic she has personal experience with), social media, and lots more.
