Cassidy DuHadway, LCSW Unlearn. Go deeper. Show up as your whole damn self.

I help therapists become better therapists through real, in-depth trauma trainings, consultation, and support that brings authenticity, skill, and purpose back into the work.

An ADHD diagnosis can answer a lot of questions, but it can also open up a whole new set of feelings.

You might feel relieved to finally have an explanation and still feel angry about how long it took to get there.

You might grieve the version of yourself who spent years thinking they were lazy, inconsistent, careless, or simply “bad at life.”

That grief doesn’t mean you’re unhappy about understanding yourself. Sometimes the diagnosis gives you language for struggles you’ve been carrying for a very long time. 🫂

If you were diagnosed as an adult, what was the emotion you didn’t expect to feel?

Religious trauma doesn’t always look like a big, obvious reaction.

Sometimes it shows up in the tiny moments: feeling guilty for resting, second-guessing yourself, being afraid of making mistakes, or noticing your body react to something your mind knows is harmless.

These patterns can stick around long after you’ve left the environment that taught them to you.

Share it with someone who might need the reminder. 🫂

Every one of these was a sentence someone couldn’t say before.

Which one couldn’t you say before?

Consultation isn’t just for when something has gone completely wrong.

Sometimes it’s the thing that helps you catch a question early, think through a complicated case, or feel less alone when you’re navigating something outside your usual clinical experience.

And asking for another perspective doesn’t mean you’re not a good therapist. It means you’re taking the work seriously enough to keep learning.

If you’re an EMDR therapist who could use another clinical brain in the room, comment TRANSFORM and I’ll send you the info!

r*pe is the only violent crime in utah that happens more often than the national average. nearly 1 in 3 utah women will experience s*xual violence. this week everyone’s posting “i am jane doe” for the cornell student suing the school and the cornell 7. here, a lot of jane does learned to stay quiet long before college.

and yes, there are ways to teach kids about their bodies and s*x without teaching or supporting r*pe culture.

i sit with this in my office every week in utah. these lessons protect abusers, at church and on campus.

if you grew up lds, you probably remember the cupcake. or the gum, or the nails in the board.

they were supposed to be about chastity. what a lot of kids actually took from them is that if someone hurt them, they were the one who got ruined.

send this to the friend from young women’s who’d get it.

Sometimes the things you’re trying to “unlearn” were actually things you learned for a reason.

Maybe reading the room kept you safe. Maybe apologizing quickly helped prevent conflict. Maybe overexplaining made you feel less likely to be misunderstood.

The problem isn’t that your nervous system learned these patterns. It’s that a strategy that once protected you can become exhausting when your environment has changed.

Healing isn’t about becoming a completely different person. It’s about having more choice in how you respond. 🧠🌿

There’s a point in your clinical career where collecting more information stops being the only answer.

Sometimes what you really need is a space to slow down, bring an actual case, ask the uncomfortable question, and think through what you’re seeing with someone who has more experience.

Because knowing the theory is one thing. Knowing what to do when the session goes sideways is another.
