Are you skipping over disappointment?
|
Hi friend, I've been focusing on giving myself a chance to feel before making a decision. Specifically, giving myself a chance to feel disappointed before deciding someone else needed to carry my own disappointment. I've noticed that I often skip over the feeling of disappointment. And when I do that, I instead start reaching for certainty. I deicde that, "They don't care." "They never think about me." "This relationship isn't important to them." It's possible that some of those things are true, but I've learned that I'm much more likely to know the difference after I spend some time feeling disappointed. It's important to feel our feelings. All of them. Even the negative ones. I'm going to continue practicing this. If you are too, and if you're working on spending less time reaction and more time responding, then you're in the right place. Thanks for being here. Coach Jose 💛

Some people aren’t there yet. Some people are actively working on themselves, and some people are avoiding their shit like it’s their full-time job. 😂 But...
Hi friend, One of the biggest “traps” of being a therapist—and honestly, this is probably true of a lot of jobs—is giving so much of yourself at work that there’s not enough left of you when you get home. As therapists, we spend our days listening, holding space, caring, problem-solving, empathizing, and showing up for people who need us. That’s meaningful work! But it can also be exhausting work. And sometimes, without even realizing it, we can start giving away so much of our emotional and...
Hi friend, I'm keeping the more personal sharing rolling this week! I wanted to share one of my favorite breakfasts with you. Growing up, my mom would consistently make me and my brother gallo pinto with a fried egg for breakfast. Child, it really is one of my favorite breakfasts. 😂 Some meals just feel like home, no matter how simple they are. The foods we ate in our childhood carry core memories of where we come from. They connect you to your culture and to the version of yourself that...
