103. Creating Space for the Bad Stuff

Today's episode is a shift from our previous few weeks that were capitalizing on all the energy and buzzwords that surround the holiday and new year season. This week, I wanted to get intentional about creating space for the bad stuff - aka negative thoughts, feelings, and memories, and how to acknowledge them without personifying them always! I mention a good friend of the podcast, Dr. Meghan Powell, and her amazing work on journaling in today's episode. Click here [https://www.meggymarie.com/guide-to-journaling] for her journaling mojo! As always, therapy is a vital and necessary resource to tap into, especially when you notice you're "getting stuck" around certain things that can be hard to deal with. Use a resource like Psychology Today [psychologytoday.com] to match with a therapist in your area and use a filter to get a match who takes your insurance! Want a little bit more depth? Mental Health Match [mentalhealthmatch.com] is like a dating app but for clients and therapists to connect. Need a more affordable option? OpenPath [openpathcollective.org] helps clients find affordable therapy based on financial need.
