How to Find the Right Therapist: What Research Says Actually Matters
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming. Many people wonder: How do I find the right therapist? Does the type of therapy matter? What if I pick the wrong one?

I'm tired of the version that frames it as a personality quirk, a boundary problem, or a self-esteem issue we just need to do the work on. That framing skips over the most important thing, which is that people-pleasing is a survival strategy that worked. It equated to safety, and sometimes to love, which kind of
What We Lose When We're Not Believed
There's a kind of tired I want to talk about, because I don't think it gets named enough, and because I've lived inside of it, and because the people who walk into my office almost always know exactly what I mean before I finish the sentence.
