You can’t heal in the same place that made you sick.

And sometimes that “place” is not just a building, a job, a relationship, or a room.

Sometimes it is a role you kept performing.
A version of you that kept over-functioning.
A pattern where you were praised for surviving but never supported in resting.
A space where your nervous system learned to stay alert, guarded, and exhausted.

Healing often requires a new environment—but it also requires a new agreement with yourself.

You may need different people.
Different boundaries.
Different expectations.
Different access to you.

Because the goal is not to prove you can endure more.
The goal is to finally become well.

If this resonates, ask yourself: What place, pattern, or role am I still trying to heal inside of?

“Hold space.” “I’m holding space for you.”

Therapy culture says this all the time.

But what do we actually mean?

Because holding space is NOT:

fixing
rescuing
emotionally absorbing someone else
rushing people to heal
saying the perfect thing
And honestly?
It’s not just sitting silently while someone struggles either.

Real holding space requires:
presence,
regulation,
containment,
discernment,
and the ability to stay grounded while someone else feels overwhelmed.

It means not rushing to:
solve,
spiritualize,
intellectualize,
redirect,
or minimize discomfort because WE became uncomfortable.

And that part takes work.

Especially for helpers, therapists, caregivers, and high-functioning people who learned that love always had to look like usefulness.

“Holding Space: What Are We Actually Talking About?”

What does holding space mean to you?

“Lean in.”

Therapy culture says it.
Leadership culture says it.
Coaching culture says it.

But what do we actually mean Because for some people, “leaning in” already looks like:

🤯overfunctioning
😨hypervigilance
🤕emotional labor
😄people pleasing
🥺survival mode
😮‍💨carrying everyone else

As therapists, we have to become more intentional with our language.

Not every client needs to “lean in” harder.
Some clients need pacing.
Some need safety.
Some need regulation.
Some need permission to finally put something down.

Clinical language should create clarity—not confusion.

Tonight on Between Sessions Live we will unpack one of therapy culture’s favorite phrases and ask:
Is it insight…or just jargon we stopped defining?

What’s one therapy phrase you hear all the time that nobody really explains?

You look like you have it all together.

You’re the one people call.
The one who figures it out.
The one who keeps everything moving.

But what most people don’t see
is what your body is carrying.

The tension.
The mental load.
The inability to actually rest—even when you have the time.

That’s not just stress.
That’s a nervous system that has been in survival mode for too long.

And for many Black women, overfunctioning didn’t come from nowhere.
It was learned. Required. Reinforced.

So now, even when you want to slow down…
your body doesn’t know how.

This is why “self-care” alone doesn’t work.
This is why “soft life” feels good in theory—but hard in practice.

Because you can’t access rest
from a dysregulated state.

This is the work.

Not doing more.
Not performing better.

But learning how to feel safe enough
to do less.

If this resonates, comment REGULATE
or send me a message.

Let’s get your body out of survival mode.

Therapists …we need to talk about “do the work.”

I’m going to say something unpopular…’do the work’ may be one of the laziest phrases in therapy.

What does “the work” even mean?

I am seeing a concerning pattern in our field, and it needs to be addressed directly.

Pre-licensed therapists are doing the work, showing up for clients, completing sessions, and operating in good faith, only to find out
later that their hours are not properly documented, not approved, or in some cases, not usable toward licensure.

This is not a small issue. This impacts careers, timelines, financial stability, and professional identity.

There is an assumption that if you are working under a supervisor, your hours are automatically protected. That is not how this process works. Supervision is not informal. It is not flexible in the ways many assume. It is a structured, documented, and board-regulated.
process.

If you are not actively tracking your hours, confirming your
supervision, and ensuring documentation is aligned with board requirements, you are leaving something too important to chance.

And to be clear, this is not about placing blame solely on
supervisees. There are gaps in supervision practices and systems that need to be addressed across agencies and private practices.

But what I want for you is awareness and protection.

You have worked too hard to have your hours questioned or denied because of preventable issues.

If you are unsure about your supervision structure, your
documentation, or whether your hours are being properly tracked, it is time to take a closer look.

This is the work I do. I support clinicians in building supervision systems that are ethical, structured, and aligned with board expectations, so your hours are not just completed, but protected.

If this resonates, you can reach out or send me a message.
