👋🏾 From one human to another, don’t be so hard on yourself. 🌻 ☀️ 🌊 🎈 🙃

👋🏾 From one human to another, pump the breaks and take a moment.

Like the reel when you see the dog hair in the coffee cup.😂

👋🏾 While this app favours short quick sound clips, I’m wanting to offer substance and thought provoking ideas. Feel free to watch it on a faster speed too!

I love this work I do, but I don’t think everyone is equipped or cut out for it. Kind of like accounting, I respect that people love it, can do it and have a natural skill with to, but it is not for me, the last person you’d want to be doing accounting work is me… I belief the same thing about therapy work, not everyone should do it, and there are some surprising costs to it.

While these are 5 reasons, I’m sure there are more.

(Still very much committed to this work, still very much in my flow with it too).

Adoption can look different for many, you might know of your birth family, have experience of being with them and being adopted at an age you were aware of it. For some you have had a closed adoption, knowing nothing about your birth family.

When adoptees are out in the wild world they can be conscious of their story when asked “where are you from” or “what is the family history like”…

Whether you are in a family where you share the same skin colour, are an in*******al & cross cultural family, with heterosexual parents or gay or q***r parents, your adoption story is yours, is unique and individual.

Working with your adoption story means we might process it, we might pay attention to it, or have a gentle acknowledgment of the presence of your adoption. 👋🏾

Hey!👋🏾

Wondered how I work with clients? 🧐

I work with the idea that we are impacted by our histories, that we have to echoes of the past that may be showing up and work with you to understand these.

My primary focus is to help you grow in your awareness of self, and how you show up in your own circles and relationships.

🧐When failure, disappointment, frustration and let downs happen, where do you go?

For some, these can be excruciating, and you feel the depth of dissatisfaction, shame or even anger about not meeting an expectation you had.

For others you might be more comfortable about going with the flow. 🌊

We all manage setbacks in our own way. maybe you are like me, wanting things to turn out picture perfect, and struggle when you see the expectation crumble before you. I had to learn and it still is a learning experience to accept I had an expectation, accept the outcome and regulate myself. 😡😤🤨🥺😕🙃🥲

Maybe you are leaning into be more uncomfortable, being okay with maybe getting a little disappointed.

😂 if you swiped, I see you. No shame, but no info here. 👋🏾

🟡 Posts are not therapy.
🔵 I am ethically and contractually bound to ZIP MY LIPs.
🟢 What I post it about how I work, why I do this healing work, and what it might be like to work with me.
🟠 You might learn more about me, but you will never learn or know what clients tell me, the stories they share or what has happened in sessions.
🟤 You might get a flavour of what I might say in a session, but I don’t use client experiences.
🟡 I do write in a Substack open newsletter about what I experienced during training and how I have learned through those years on placement. These are my experiences and for other clinicians to read through and consider, but do not hold client stories or details or information about them.

Your ethical therapist,
Elliot

👋🏾 Do you ever feel like this?

I have many things I have missed because I was waiting for the right feeling or the right moment… sometimes I feel I’ve missed out because of it.

In my learning I’ve seen that motivation, the pay off, the results only appear after we begin… we see this and keep going. But to begin it might be really uncomfortable and challenging and hard….

🙋🏾‍♂️ What would it take for you to take one step for a period of time today..?

Dear Therapist in Training,

You are learning your skills, taking in theories, doing assignments, seeing clients, and balancing all these plates around you.

Your care, your work, your diligence has a place.

And so does your championing!

In this short, free open letter (click the link tree in my bio), I wonder what it is like to champion and coach our clients, cheerleading and instilling that voice “you can do it!” - stepping into a human to human experience.

Your sibling therapist,

Elliot
