This Memorial Day weekend looked a little different for our co-owners.
While many people were traveling, relaxing, or attending cookouts, we booked a local hotel for a staycation.
And honestly? It was kind of perfect.
Good food. Comfy clothes. Lots of laughter. No dishes. No laundry. No mental load waiting around every corner.
Oh, and 23 hours of Internal Family Systems (IFS) training.
We realize that spending a holiday weekend doing an intensive therapy training probably sounds boring to some people.
But we truly love what we do, and we love learning how to do it even better.
One of our favorite parts was learning together, pausing between sessions to process what we were hearing, challenge each other's thinking, dream about how we might use it with clients, and brainstorm how we could bring it back to our team.
One thing people don't always realize is that therapists don't stop learning once we earn our degrees or get licensed. We keep learning because we want to provide the best care possible.
And because we believe people make sense.
The anxiety.
The self-criticism.
The procrastination.
The avoidance.
The people-pleasing.
The need to control.
The overwhelm.
We don't see those things as character flaws.
We see them as parts of you that learned something important a long time ago and have been trying to help ever since.
That's what we love about IFS.
Instead of asking, "What's wrong with me?" it asks:
"What is this part trying to do for me?"
That question can change everything.
Because there is an answer.
And it makes sense.
We're excited to keep learning, keep growing, and keep bringing new tools back to our clients and our team.
Healing isn't about fixing yourself.
It's about understanding yourself.
And maybe discovering that you've made a lot more sense all along than you thought.
