This is particularly true for children.

I love the line that therapists on TV and in movies use that seems to identify our work (but is kind of bullshit). "How does that make you feel?" It's like all we care about is feelings. And then once we figure out how we feel, we can just move in and unpack or something. ... The real questions need to happen in the follow up. In the place after you figure out the feeling. Because that's where the work and the answer is. You're feeling sad? Okay. Let's figure this out. You're angry? What's under that? And my personal favourite..."When or where have you felt this before?" Because that helps figure out the pattern. And that's where the magic can begin. #realchange #therapistsofinstagram #counselingwise #selfhealing #stthomasproud #mondaymotivation #allthefeels #feelingsquotes #letstalk See more

We've all been there, wondering why this pattern, this experience, this situation keeps happening to us. We can get stuck here for sure. The thing about the universe is that you get to experience the same thing until you learn what you need to so that you can grow. And growth can be painful. What's more painful, however, is repeating the same patterns over and over and over and not learning from it. What patterns do you need to recognize to get unstuck? ... #getunstuck #stthomasproud #therapistsofinstagram #mindfulmonday #motivationmonday #fakefriends #patterns #therapist #wefuckuptoo #counsellingservices #selfhealers #healthyboundaries #reparenting #understandinglife See more

And isn't that why we go to therapy? To talk about all the things that are left unsaid. To share the secrets you've never told anyone. To tell someone how you really feel without having to fear that you'll lose them. Because therapists don't leave. We're hear to listen and to help you make sense of all the things. #therapistsofinstagram #therapist #stthomasproud #mytherapistsaid #motivationalmonday #letstalk
