Short, sweet, and full of recovery lessons. :-) If you need a little pick-me-up, this might be just the ticket.

It Doesn't Have to Be This Way

Eating Disorders by the Numbers

On this last day of EDAW, I let the numbers speak for me.

Immersion in Imagery

Over the past 2 weeks, I've discussed Drawing Your Emotions... then Writing Your Emotions. This week, I discuss using imagery to better learn yourself (among other things).

Your Strengths

Seeking Your Own Answers

Doing for Others Without Becoming Overwhelmed

This week's video is a response to a question and is a rather informal video. Thanks for watching. :-)

 

Therapy from a Therapist Perspective

This week's Wednesday video was a question from Brianna: "Please explain what the therapeutic process is like from a therapist point of view. I just thought it would help viewers understand therapy more and why boundaries are important. For example, my therapist is gone for 2 weeks its hard but I understand she needs a vacation and her job is only part of her life so it's easier for me for her to be gone." I talk about boundaries, perspectives, terminations, breaks, etc.

 

Bravery Starts Within

This week's video is the fourth and last one on the topic of bravery. Keep being brave!

Stop Feeling Inferior!

This week's Wednesday video:
