Thank you for sharing your journey. We all experience life so differently and this is why I say always, in all ways we must be kind to one another because we truly don’t know what someone else is going through simply to exist each day. Sending you love and light.

Lots of love on this post! I appreciate you sharing your journey, I was a mental health counselor before I started my own business. I have been tossing in my head if I want to return and do more expressive arts of just coach versus counseling. So many things to decide. Your post resonates with me. Thanks again.

Oh yes! My vote doesn’t count but I vote getting back into it with a coaching hat. We need more of US in the field and different forms of treatment for those who may be reluctant to traditional counseling. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing this. I appreciate opportunities to understand how other people’s brains work. The line that jumped out at me was, “ I’m not always consistent at using the information I have about the way my brain functions, but life has been made a bit better because of this knowledge.” I have OCD and several chronic health conditions, and I struggle with being unkind to myself with I don’t apply the knowledge I have as to what helps me feel more stable and healthy. But the truth is that I’m a wildly inconsistent human, as all of us are, and it would probably be better for my brain to celebrate the moments when I successfully do apply the knowledge I have than berate myself for the moments I don’t. Thanks for sharing your wisdom!

Yes Kelly! Thank you for reading and also sharing your experience. We are our own worst critic and when we don't do what we know we need, we're so hard on ourselves and forget to acknowledge our humanity. Here's to giving ourselves more grace.
