UNFILTERED:
Making the Invisible, Visible
If therapy and Fight Club have a common thread, it's their first rule: don't talk about it. This code works wonders if you're in the loop, but it's less helpful when you're on the sidelines, contemplating whether or not to step into the ring.
Think of these articles as your insider's guide to therapy.
I'll offer you a candid view of my work as a therapist, without sacrificing the sacredness of my client's confidentiality. Like your favorite reality TV show, we'll delve into the highs, lows, and 'pour-the-red-wine' moments of life for women in their 30s and 40s.
I'm pulling back the curtain on the invisible world of therapy for women who think their struggles aren't "significant enough", one blog post at a time.
What I’ve Learned From the Women Who Always Hold It Together
Most people assume that high-achieving women thrive on tidy kitchens and back-to-back meetings, that they sleep better with a color-coded calendar and a to-do list by the bed.
But that’s just because most people can’t spell. Lucky for them, some high-achieving women will help them out:
Tidy kitchens? That’s R-E-S-P-O-N-S-I-B-I-L-I-T-Y.
Back-to-back meetings? That’s B-E-I-N-G-A-G-R-O-W-N-U-P.
Color-coded calendars? That’s N-E-C-E-S-S-A-R-Y.
To-do lists by the bed? That’s C-O-P-I-N-G..
And thriving? Oh, that one’s easy. It’s spelled S-U-R-V-I-V-I-N-G. Which is exactly why this high-achieving woman is one goldfish cracker away from L-O-S-I-N-G H-E-R S-H-I-T.
