The caretaking instinct doesn't clock out after sessions.
It follows us into collegial relationships, informal consults, and borrowed equipment that never comes back.
Generosity and caretaking are not the same thing.
It's worth knowing which one you're doing.

We spend our days listening for what's underneath the surface.
The hesitation. The deflection. The "I'm fine" that means anything but.
We know what "fine" costs.
Do we extend that same curiosity to ourselves?

The therapy room holds a lot.
Grief. Silence. Hard truths.
And sometimes — laughter.
Not as a break from the work.
As part of it.

The tissue isn't really about the tissue.
Sometimes the urge to help is really the urge to not have to sit there anymore — in someone else's pain, in the silence, in the not-knowing-what-to-do.
That's not a flaw. It's human. And it's worth noticing.
For the clinicians in the room.

A question for fellow clinicians:
When did you last show up for your own body image work—not as a therapist, but as yourself?

On May 13th at 6 PM CST, I’m offering a free live webinar: Body Image for Clinicians: Doing Our Own Work.
For 90 minutes, we’ll focus on the real, personal work—the kind we regularly support in clients, but often set aside in our own lives.

It’s free and hosted on Zoom.

Not knowing what to do in a session doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.

It usually means you’re in the part of the work that isn’t clear yet.

The instinct is to fix it.
But not every moment needs to be filled.

Some of your most capable clients aren’t struggling because they lack insight.
They’re struggling because the strategy that once worked—overfunctioning—is no longer sustainable.
If we only help them optimize that pattern, we risk reinforcing the very thing that’s burning them out.
Sometimes the work isn’t helping them do more.
It’s helping them carry less.

A question for my fellow therapists and clinicians:
When did you last tend to your own relationship with your body — not as a clinician, but as a person?
I'm hosting a free live webinar on May 13th at 6 PM CST called Body Image for Clinicians: Doing Our Own Work. It's 90 minutes of real, honest work — the kind we hold space for in our clients but rarely carve out for ourselves.
It's free. It's on Zoom. And it's for you.

We speak with more certainty than the data supports.
And yet—therapy still works.

So what’s actually doing the work?
