Healing starts with U

I HAVE A SECRET TO TELL YOU…. In spite of what you may have thought or been taught, U don’t need anyone’s permission to heal! It starts with a simple, yet pivotal decision to address those things that don’t feel good, or those things that keep popping up every time we thought we were “ok.” It doesn’t mean you don’t care about the status or progress of others, it just means that you are not waiting on or chasing after them to get what you need.

Before I became a therapist, I was and still am very human. I quickly learned that being an incredible therapist requires self-awareness, vulnerability and a commitment to my personal healing. I often say to my clients that I can only go there with you because I go there with me. From my own journey, I’ve learned that some of our greatest battles are internal when we’re experiencing the war between the internal narratives that no longer serve us and the human we are working so hard to be.

As you begin or continue your healing journey, I encourage you to routinely have an internal dialogue where you ask yourself a few things:
◦ How am I truly feeling?
◦ What am I grateful for today?
◦ What am I committing to for the remainder of today?

You can’t heal what you don’t acknowledge. So start with Acknowledging U!

This time it’s personal!
