Stories, Ideas, Questions, and Lessons

I’m a psychotherapist who has the unique privilege to drop into my clients’ lives, emotions, and problems. A big part of my job is to stay up to date with the research and use that to educate my clients to help them through whatever is going on. Recently I’ve been thinking about, how much I learn from my clients. Even broader, how much of our research is just searching for answers that our clients come to us with. That the research itself originates from questions that come from clients or our own life experiences. So, in this blog, I want to flip the script. I want to write about things that I learn from my clients or the questions that come out of my own experience sitting with my clients.

This is not a how to blog, or me proselytizing any theory or way of being. This is a place of learning, curiosity, and my attempts to synthesize my own journey diving into the questions that come up during session, in a way that might be useful to the reader.

As a side note, all content here has either been written with the consent of a client or changed in a way that protects the clients privacy. While much about the client may get drastically changed, the root of the question or idea will stay the same.
