Fall has entered the chat.

Quaking aspens turn brilliant shades of yellow each fall, but what you see above ground is only part of the story.

An entire stand of aspens can be connected underground by a single root system, meaning what looks like hundreds of individual trees may actually be one genetically identical organism. The trunks can live for a century, while the roots beneath them can survive for thousands of years.

As we discuss the Cornell case, allow me to introduce you to the FRIES model of consent. I have been teaching this to clients for years. If this definition of consent makes you feel uncomfortable because of past experiences, you should definitely spend some time unpacking that with a mental health professional. Some may need to work through some trauma and others may need some guidance to adopt a new way of thinking about sexual conquest.

Sometimes growth is really painful. It's okay if you need to take some time to process that pain. As long as you come back to it, face it, and move forward from there, the growth doesn't stop.

Teaching this to my clients is one of the most pivotal moments in therapy. There's so much science about how learning works in the brain that supports this. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/17o92ZCVyv/

It can feel very scary to step away from those techniques and mindsets that once saved your life.
