最近看到很多：
Lately, I’ve been seeing so many posts like:

「心理健康產業很有前景 ✨」
“Mental health careers are the future ✨”
「留學藝術治療最吃香 ✨」
“Studying art therapy abroad is so promising ✨”

之類的文章，小編都會默默一笑（🙂）
…and every time, I just quietly smile (🙂)

這篇不是勸退文
This is not meant to discourage anyone

只是想給對藝術治療、
表達性治療有興趣的人，
一點比較真實的職場參考。
I simply wanted to share a more realistic glimpse into the field
for those who are interested in art therapy and expressive therapies.

當然，
小編的經驗不能代表每個藝術治療師～
Of course,
this is only based on my personal experience and doesn’t represent every art therapist’s journey!

當然，
小編還是很喜歡藝術治療這份工作。
And honestly,
I still truly love this work.

同行們應該多少懂這種 reality check !? 🤭
有不一樣的～或是還有更多更多～歡迎留言分享！
Fellow therapists probably understand this kind of reality check 😆
And there’s still so much more to say ～
feel free to share your own experiences in the comments!

有時候衝突裡，
其實有一個人已經慢慢不想吵了(或相對上比較沒有那麼積極想吵架或打架)。

但只要又被挑釁一下、刺激一下，
整個情緒又會重新被拉回去。

在心理工作中，我學到，
介入衝突有時候不是一直請雙方冷靜下來，
而是先幫彼此拉開一點距離。

有時候，請衝突中比較處於下風、快被情緒淹沒的人幫忙一件小事情，
反而能暫時轉移焦點，
讓雙方慢慢離開那個情緒風暴。

Sometimes in conflict,
one person is already starting to not want to fight anymore(relatively between the two).

But one more provocation or insult
can pull them right back into the emotional storm again.

Through mental health work, I learned that conflict intervention is not always about repeatedly telling both people to calm down.
Sometimes, it’s about creating a little distance first.

At times, asking the person who seems more overwhelmed or cornered in the conflict to help with a small task
can gently shift the focus
and help both people move away from the emotional storm.

As a new non-profit organization, Table Expressive Therapies, Inc. first tabling event was a success! Thank you National Chengchi University （NCCU) Alumni Association for your support and collaborating with us! 
 
When life feels heavy, where can you turn for support in Boston?
 
In collaboration with the 2026 NCCU Alumni Association and Newton Taiwan Day, a group of outstanding Boston-area therapists and Table Expressive Therapies came together to share mental health resources, practical tips, and information on children’s and adolescents’ mental wellness with the Greater Boston community.

We hope to help lighten the weight on your heart and make it easier to know where to seek support when you need it. In addition to mental health resource sharing, the event also offered interactive activities where participants can practice emotional expression and self-awareness together.
 
The mission of Table Expressive Therapies is to promote healing and well-being through expressive arts-based and non-traditional therapeutic practices. We seek to raise awareness of expressive therapies and utilize diverse artistic modalities to support self-care and overall wellness among Asian and new immigrant communities.

Through an engaging and supportive environment, we provide opportunities for community members to explore creative outlets to enhance mental, emotional, and physical health. 
 
We look forward to coming back next year at Newton Taiwan Day 2027!

嗨！不知道大家在日常生活中，會不會常常遇到一些很在乎的議題，卻不知道該如何發聲，甚至會懷疑自己能不能帶來任何改變。
今天想和大家分享一些小編🦞在日常生活中實踐的小小倡議行動。這些行動或許不會立刻帶來明顯的改變，卻像一顆顆種子，慢慢在我們的生活中發芽。
你在日常生活中的倡議行動什麼呢？歡迎留言和我們分享！

Hi everyone! Do you ever find yourself caring deeply about certain issues in everyday life, but not quite knowing how to speak up, or even wondering whether you can make a difference?
Today, I’d like to share some small acts of advocacy I practice in my everyday life. These actions may not bring immediate or visible change, but they are like seeds, quietly taking root and growing over time.
What are some ways you practice advocacy in your daily life? Feel free to share in the comments!

嗨大家！不知道大家會不會常說「我有強迫症」，但真正的 OCD強迫症（Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder）不只是愛整齊，而是一個痛苦的惡性循環。

常見誤解：這些「不是」OCD
* 單純喜歡對稱、追求完美。
* 看到整潔覺得療癒、享受。
關鍵在於：沒做到也沒關係，你有「選擇權」。

臨床特徵
1. 強迫意念 (O)： 停不下來的侵入性念頭。 （例如：萬一沒洗乾淨會生病去世？）
2. 強烈衝動： 不做點什麼，焦慮感就會像要爆炸一樣。
3. 強迫行為 (C): 重複性的儀式行為。（例如：我必須洗十次手，或反覆檢查瓦斯爐，才能感到安全。）

循環的運作：
想法 (O) => 強烈焦慮衝動 => 行為 (C) => 短暫緩解 => 想法再次出現

停不下來的原因是：
因為強迫行為提供的「短暫緩解」，會誤導大腦以為這套行為「有效」，進而強化依賴，形成走不出的惡性循環。
OCD 不是一種個性，而是一個被焦慮驅動的心理疾病。

Hi everyone! People often say, “This is my OCD,” but clinical Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is more than just a preference for neatness. It is a painful and exhausting vicious cycle.

Common Misconceptions: This is NOT OCD
* Simply liking symmetry or being a perfectionist.
* Finding cleanliness therapeutic or enjoyable.
The Key Difference: Even if things aren’t perfect, you can still let it go. You still have the “power to choose.”

Clinical Features of OCD
* Obsessions (O): Persistent, intrusive, and unstoppable thoughts. (e.g., “What if I’m not clean enough and someone dies because of me?”)
* Urge: An overwhelming feeling that if you don’t act immediately, your anxiety will explode.
* Compulsions (C): Repetitive, ritualistic behaviors. (e.g., “I must wash my hands ten times or check the stove again and again to feel safe.”)

How the Cycle Works:
Obsessions (O) =》Anxiety urge =〉Compulsions (C) =》Temporary Relief =〉Thoughts Return

Why is it so hard to stop?
Because the “temporary relief” reinforces the brain’s belief that the behavior is effective. This strengthens the dependency, creating a vicious cycle that is incredibly difficult to break.
OCD is not a personality trait; it is a mental health disorder driven by anxiety.

不曉得大家有沒有感受到春天來了⋯⋯

可能你的工作忙、生活有了改變、又或者試著在生活中尋找平衡⋯即便身為治療師，我們也會有被情緒淹沒的時刻（真的內心戲很多🤣🤣🤣）

Feels like spring is finally here…

Maybe right you your work has been busy, life is shifting, or you’re trying to find some balance.

Even as therapists, we have moments of feeling overwhelmed

(yes… lots of inner dialogues


今天想透過一個自己的創作來分享一些工作上的反思：

Today I want to share a piece I created, along with some reflections from work

應該很多人都有這樣的感受吧？下班後仍停不下來的思緒：「我剛剛是不是說錯了什麼？那個回應，會不會影響了個案？」不斷自我檢視⋯⋯

擔心自己工作能力不足、擔心是不是沒有幫助到個案、或是過度的責任感⋯

I think many of us know this feeling—

after work, the mind doesn’t stop:

“Did I say something wrong?”

“Did that response affect my client?”

Endless self-checking…Worrying about not doing enough, questioning our competence, or feeling too responsible…

但如果可以，把視角拉遠後其實是看見一段關係的累積，以及和個案一起走過的時間. 個案的韌性（resilience）往往比我預期的更強

But when I zoom out, I see the relationship we’ve been building, and the time we’ve walked through together.

Clients are often more resilient than I expect.

課本上我們都知道：治療並不是單向的提供，而是一種共同參與的歷程（尤其是表達性治療）只是很多時候理性理解了，感性卻沒有消化

We learn that therapy is not one-sided,

but a shared process—

yet sometimes we understand it cognitively,

but haven’t fully felt it.


當我們對自己嚴苛，是因為在意因此更害怕「搞砸」。但就像創作一樣，當太害怕失敗時線條反而變得拘謹、僵硬；很多特別的創造都是在與不完美共存和不斷的嘗試與摩擦中出現的

Maybe we’re hard on ourselves because we care, and that makes us afraid of “messing up.”

But like art creation, when we fear mistakes, our lines become tight and rigid. The authentic piece often happens alongside imperfection, through trial, friction, and process.
感謝你閱讀到這👀想問問大家的經驗裡，一段❓有意義的關係裡你通常在意：

Thank you for reading this far👀I’d love to hear your thoughts:

今天想跟大家分享一個
語言與文化的小觀察。
有些英文其實不是字面意思，
而是一種 「社交語言」
Today, I want to share a small observation
about language and culture.
Some English expressions aren’t meant to be taken literally ~ they’re actually a kind of “social language.”

為什麼停止自我批判這麼難？

這不是你的問題，而是先天+後天形成的神經系統防禦機制。

大腦有威脅、驅力與安撫三套系統。
若成長中犯錯伴隨羞辱，威脅系統會過度活化。
於是大腦可能形成一種策略：

「先批判自己，比被別人批判安全。」

怎麼練習自我慈悲：

1️⃣ 安撫觸碰
雙手放在胸口或輕抱自己，啟動副交感神經。

2️⃣ 慈悲想像
創造一個具備智慧、力量、溫暖與不批判的理想的支持者。

自我慈悲很像大腦的物理治療。
新的神經迴路需要時間，慢慢來：）

Self-criticism is often a survival strategy, it's not your fault!

If mistakes were shamed growing up, the Threat system becomes overactive.
The brain could have learned: “Criticize yourself first. It’s safer.”

How to practice being self compassionate:

• Soothing touch activates the parasympathetic system.
• Compassionate imagery inputs safety into the nervous system.

Self-compassion is kind of like physical therapy for the brain.

農曆新年剪紙製作🧧✂️🌺

今年過年，你有嘗試剪紙製作嗎？我服務的機構特別舉辦了剪紙製作活動，與社區一同慶祝農曆新年！

許多亞裔與新移民家庭帶著孩子參加，一起製作屬於自己的新年剪紙，在歡樂的氣氛中迎接新年的到來！

活動帶領家長與孩子一同體驗傳統剪紙藝術，認識新年常見的吉祥圖案，如福字、燈籠、生肖與花卉等。

透過動手剪紙與創作，不僅能培養孩子的專注力與創造力，也讓親子共享溫馨的創作時光。完成的作品可帶回家裝飾，為新年增添滿滿的喜氣與祝福。

我們希望透過活動，支持亞裔與新移民家庭建立健康的生活習慣，促進身心靈健康，以預防賭博問題的發生。

Lunar New Year Papercutting 🧧✂️🌺

This Lunar New Year, have you tried papercutting? The organization I work in hosted a papercutting event to celebrate Lunar New Year together with the community!

Many Asian and new immigrant families attended with their children, working together to create their own LNY papercutting, welcoming the new year in a joyful atmosphere! 

This event guided parents and children in experiencing the traditional art of paper cutting together, while learning about common Lunar New Year symbols such as the “Fu” character, lanterns, zodiac animals, and floral designs.

Through hands-on cutting and creative activity, children can develop focus and creativity while families enjoy meaningful time together. Finished artworks can be taken home for decoration, adding festive cheer and blessings to the New Year.

Through activities like this, we hope to support Asian and new immigrant families in developing healthy lifestyle habits and promoting overall physical and mental well-being in an effort to prevent problem gambling.

在生活中，我們常聽到「不要搞意識形態」、「某某太意識形態了」之類的說法，彷彿意識形態是一種偏見，甚至是製造對立的來源。但意識形態真的只是負面的標籤嗎？

今天想和大家聊聊「意識形態」這個話題，也想聽聽大家的想法。

（本篇文章僅代表小編🦞個人觀點，不代表其他臺波波成員的立場。）

In everyday life, we often hear people say things like “Don’t make it ideological” or “That’s too ideological,” as if ideology were simply a source of bias or division. But is ideology really just a negative label?

Today, I’d like to talk about the topic of “ideology” and also hear your thoughts.
