Being Perceived Is Terrifying

October fear ranking:

👻 Ghosts: manageable
🧛 Vampires: concerning
🕷️ Spiders: depends on size
😱 BEING PERCEIVED BY ANOTHER HUMAN BEING: absolutely horrifying

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable.

Especially if you’ve spent a lot of your life carefully deciding which parts of yourself are safe to show other people.

You don’t have to arrive at therapy ready to tell us everything.

You don’t even have to know where to start.

You just get to show up as you are.

Cocooning or Disappearing?

Sometimes staying home is exactly what your nervous system needs.

Cancel the plans. Put on the sweatpants. Rewatch the show. Make something warm. Become one with the couch.

And sometimes we slowly stop doing the things—and seeing the people—that help us feel like ourselves.

There is no morally correct amount of leaving your house.

But it can be worth getting curious:

Does my cocoon feel restorative…or lonely?

Or Maybe You Hate This

Apparently everyone has agreed that fall is magical.

But maybe you miss long evenings. Bare feet. Spontaneous plans. Warm air. The feeling that the whole summer was still ahead of you.

Maybe shorter days affect your mood. Maybe changing routines are hard. Maybe you’re already looking at the approaching holidays thinking, oh god, here we go.

You do not have to become a cozy little autumn woodland creature just because everyone else is buying decorative gourds.

You’re allowed to have complicated feelings about fall.

Maybe Fall Feels Like a Relief

The heat eases up. The days get quieter. Staying home suddenly feels less like “I should probably go do something” and more like a legitimate seasonal activity.

For some of us, fall feels like a giant exhale.

Maybe you’re ready for blankets, earlier evenings, fewer plans, soup-based meals, and absolutely no pressure to make the most of every beautiful summer day.

If your nervous system has been waiting all summer to cocoon a little: welcome back.

September: Completed-ish

Congratulations.

You have completed September.*

*“Completed” may include forgetting things, changing plans, abandoning a routine, trying again, having weird feelings, needing help, accomplishing some things, accomplishing absolutely nothing on other days, and generally being a human person.

October does not require you to submit a performance review.

Carry on.

Nothing Is Terribly Wrong. Everything Just Feels…Different.

Sometimes people come to therapy because something is very clearly wrong.

And sometimes it's more like:

“I don't know. Everything is technically fine. I just don't feel like myself.”

That counts.

You don't need a crisis, a diagnosis, or a beautifully articulated reason to want support.

Sometimes “something feels off” is enough of a place to start.

You Don't Need a Courtroom Defense for Saying No

You are allowed to decline something without presenting Exhibit A through F explaining why.

“No, I can't.”

“No, that doesn't work for me.”

“Thanks for thinking of me, but I'm going to pass.”

All complete sentences.

Your boundary does not require a PowerPoint presentation.

Although admittedly, the PowerPoint could be fun.

Belonging > Fitting In

Fitting in often asks:

“How much of myself do I need to edit to be accepted here?”

Belonging feels more like:

“Oh. I can just…be me?”

Everyone deserves spaces where they don't have to constantly translate, minimize, mask, explain, or defend who they are.

Therapy should be one of those spaces.

Welcome, Fall. Please Be Cool.

Today is the first day of fall.

For some people: 🍂 SWEATERS! LEAVES! SOUP! 🍂

For others: “Why is it getting dark already and who authorized this?”

Seasonal transitions hit everyone differently.

Notice what this one brings up for you—and maybe resist the urge to tell someone they're wrong for having a different reaction.

Except about soup.

Soup is objectively good.

THINGS YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY ALLOWED TO SAY IN THERAPY

“I don't want to talk about that today.”

“I have no idea.”

“I think you misunderstood me.”

“That homework? Yeah, I didn't do it.”

“I don't think that's working.”

“Can we talk about something completely different?”

And, a classic:

“I don't know what to talk about today.”

Therapy isn't a performance. You don't get graded.
