This is something that SO many people struggle with, in my experience. As adults, so so much of our energy and resources go into what we need to do to survive and often the byproduct (and also capitalism, hello) is that people feel guilty about reaching for joy. It’s something that people often have to practice doing, while acknowledging the guilt and stress that comes up, before they can actually experience and lean into the joy. Does reaching for joyful moments in your life sometimes feel stressful?

Fully licensed as an RCC! Whoot!

The reality is, there have been many, many moments where I felt shame or felt antsy about this designation. Watching people who graduated at the same time as me achieve things faster brings up imposter syndrome in a big way. I remind myself that these are yardsticks I have created in my mind that no one else sees or knows about but me. It’s not actually helpful to compare to others AND I’m also human and these things come up! I share this as a gentle reminder that social media truly is a highlight reel and every accomplishment you see others share often comes with a lot more nuance and complication than it seems!

There is definitely a link to toxic positivity in here too. What’s your relationship like with your “negative” emotions?

Big Ol’ Disclaimer: this is context specific, as with everything in therapy. Therapy is multifaceted and specific to each client and therapist. This is just something I’ve been reflecting on recently, particularly for those who identify as people
Pleasers, etc. # therapy
