Most therapists will tell you that writing notes is their least favorite part of their day- and I’m no exception 😜
However, once I get myself into the note writing groove ( and stop procrastinating doing EVERYTHING else that I can think to do), I find that I really appreciate sitting down and thinking about the session I just had. It’s a great way to reflect on anything I may have overlooked during session and to help me gain a better picture of the work left to do.
As I sit here preparing to dive deep into notes, I invite you to join me in taking the time today to sit and reflect on something you’ve been putting off. Allowing your brain in the process the time it needs to work out pieces of a puzzle(s) you’re currently working on.
I always find that tea ☕️ helps! ...

Ask yourself: Which of these verbs is strongest for you? And which is weakest? Is there one that could use a little extra care?
As you embark on this self assessment, take notice of which relational skills need a little extra practice. And I challenge you to pick one verb this month and make it a focus. Give it massaging, caring, effort to build that muscle.
