A Pep Talk From A Therapist

Sometimes I just get these moments where I am in complete awe and wonder at the work my clients do. It’s overwhelming and emotional to experience.

As a therapist, I’m inspired by my clients

I love the work that I do because it doesn’t feel like work. I mean, the part where I have to get dressed, leave my house, and feel tired I’m the mornings-that certainly feels like work and always will. The part that doesn’t is the fact that it’s actually my clients working, searching, molding, and transforming. That feels like such a miracle to witness. You all do such beautiful and inspiring work. It’s such an honor to be with you. 

Why I love being a therapist

It is hard to imagine doing anything else with my life. I cannot even comprehend doing anything other than this. There’s nothing that compares to the meaning to sit with people in their struggle and watch them evolve. I don’t know if those that I work with ever really realize how strong and brave they are and how much of an impact they have on my life. There are many old-school therapeutic views (bye Freud!) that the therapist is some separate from the client they there can be no impact or influence. That is certainly not my reality. Those I work with unknowingly influence and change me. I’m thankful for it. I’m thankful to honor our shared humanity. 

A reminder to not give up hope in healing

A pile of rocks with the word healing on a large one. This represents how as a trauma therapist at Maple Canyon Therapy, I provide treatment for postpartum anxiety, performance anxiety, and social anxiety in Utah. .

Here is your reminder if you’ve forgotten, and I believe in you if you’re losing hope. There are many other people in your life that you will meet they will be thankful that you held onto hope. You’re gonna make it. Don’t you quit! We need you, and we want you here with us, where you belong. Your efforts are not in vain. My life is about watching people change. I’ve worked with different populations that didn’t want to change or were compelled to, so they didn’t lose it all. Even some of them changed, and so will you. If you want it, I’ll be yours. 

In the meantime, please be good to yourselves and give yourself compassion.
