Cheers, To My Therapist
If the quote "expect the unexpected" was a year, it would be 2020. We went from "new year, new me" to where is my mask? Nine months into this pandemic, I am still unwilling to accept the term "new normal." Celebrating birthdays alone isn't normal; standing outside of a grocery store to buy eggs isn't normal. Reminding my three your old niece to place the mask over her nose isn't normal and visiting our grandparents through a screen door isn't normal. That term, to me, means we have given up. I can openly admit that I didn't complete one new year's resolution, and I'm ok with that. This year introduced a ton of surprises politically, socially, and economically. Days tended to run together, and celebrating birthdays was a task within itself. But, one person who stood the test of time and was with me every step of the way through my surgery, COVID anxiety, re-introducing myself, and continuously talking me off the ledge was my therapist.

Prompt: The Creeps
What is your story? People are fighting for what they believe in, in their hearts. We struggle with different faces that we have to put on to make sure we reflect another perspective on those who view us in the world. Some say this would be called a Jack/Jane of all trades. Have you found yourself drowning in your problems? Have you found a way out? Or do they attach themselves to you like shackles that you are unable to break? Can you tell your darkest secret out loud for the world to hear? Do you think that could release some of the pain that you feel? We hide the things we don't want people to see about us for fear of judgment.

The Differences Between Online and In-Person Therapy
(Note: The words “therapist” and “counselor” are used interchangeably, as well as “therapy” and “counseling”) If you were thinking of trying therapy for the first time and wanted to know if in-person or online therapy will suit you, this is it. If I could sweeten the deal, I want you to know I am a therapist and have been on the receiving end of both methods.

An Introduction to Transpersonal Therapy
If you'd like to listen to the audio narration of this article, it's available here. Transpersonal therapy focuses on our individual evolution as humans beyond the realm of who we believe we are. It integrates the spiritual aspects of existence and proposes that a human life can traverse through three general stages of increasing consciousness — the prepersonal, the personal, and the transpersonal.

The office
It was winter.Cold to most but comforting to myself.We drove down the snow and slush covered roads.I watched out the passengers window,as other cars passed and my anxiety crept up into my throat,choking me.I could feel my heart beating in my chest,it felt as if it were in a cage and trying to fight it’s way out.

Scared of Being Scared part #2
It isn't easy to admit someone's faults nor is it easy to admit mistakes someone else has made that affected you. Coming to terms with the pain those closest to you have caused you in the past is probably one of the hardest emotional things I have ever had to do. I still don't know if I am going down the right path - but it is the only path I see right now so I will trek until another option may become available to me.

Dear Black People: Nothing Replaces Therapy.
The last few months of being a human being on this planet have been tough. For Black people, it's been devastating. We have openly witnessed and watched our community members being murdered and lynched in the streets like they are nothing. We don't lynch animals so I can't even make that comparison, nor would I want to. That's something that society has apparently reserved only for Black people. The videos that are circulating are, in the words of Killer Mike, murder porn. I read an article yesterday about a bar in Long Island, my stomping grounds in the US, that was actually taking bets on how many shooting deaths there would be over the Labour Day weekend in Chicago and New York City, with the winner being offered a cash prize. Their Twitter post with a picture of the gambling board literally said, "Let the shooting sprees begin!" I want you to take this in for a moment. A bunch of people really believed that the best use of their time was to spend their hard earned money betting on how many people would die? Now the fact that they specifically chose Chicago and NYC, two cities whose gun violence happens predominantly in lower income, Black communities and other communities of colour tells you everything you need to know about their feelings towards us. Think about the privilege and arrogance a human being has to have to do something like this. Acknowledge the fact that they knew there could only be one winner and were willing to lose their money over this. That is how much they do not care about Black or Brown lives. That is the kind of hatred and racism that is alive and well in some white communities. There were 25 unique names of people who bet. 68 people liked the post on Twitter. This is just the one we found out about. Like all the incidences of police brutality against Black people that go unrecorded, who knows how many more bars like these exist with this type of reprehensible behaviour happening.
