Grief comes upon us like waves. At least that's what I tell my clients. And here I sit feeling the waves coming over me now. Two years ago, I experienced a lot of loss. Family members passing, a friendship ending, and just plain growing older. I had just turned 40 and wondering if the 2nd half of my life would be filled w/good-byes. The upside to this is that I use it to connect to clients who are experiencing loss in their own lives. And I can teach others the stages of grief and loss with some examples. All n all, it has made me a better therapist. Even if it doesn't feel good sometimes.

Learning to Blog
I'm a people person not a computer person! In my field, technology is not something we're trained to do. We're trained to care for people's souls, encourage clients to explore their feelings and help them develop new ways to cope to stressors in their lives.
