I wonder about this alllll the time. What version of myself am I to others?
I know who I am to myself, I feel consistently myself day in and day out. But even that consistent sense of self morphs and changes based on environment, the situation, responsibilities, the people you’re with, etc...
Sometimes I’m quiet, hyper vigilant, and anxious. 😨Sometimes I’m loud, rambunctious, and quick witted.😎 Sometimes I’m frustrated and quick to anger or sadness. Sometimes I’m truly present, listening and reflecting.
I find myself wondering if I’m authentic enough, if I’m myself enough- in real life, at work, as a therapist, as a friend or partner, in my own counseling, and most of all on this page!
Anyone share these fears, worries, or thoughts? ⬇️
Happy #FeistFriday everyone! For those who haven’t met her yet, this is my therapy dog 🐶, Feist!
She is available for animal assisted therapy. Feist reports she is also available for treats 🍭, pets, walks, and snuggling!
She is a great listener (look at those giant ears!!) and she is great with kids. Feist can pick up on the emotions of the room and knows when to give some love.
Do you have an important pet in your life? How do they help you in your mental health? ⬇️
As of September 1st, Sprout Therapy PDX will be operating out of a new location on 1135 SE Salmon St in the historic Winslow building. We're just about a mile from our old office, so just around the corner!
