Therapy is NOT the work. It’s the way to the work. The work is what happens when you apply what’s been discovered in therapy.
Some friends are like dogs pissing on a tree to show “ownership” because they feel threatened that the person they love also loves others.

Is the threat real or imagined?

Same! Tryna get my time in before whatever happens happens
Damn! A word received. ❤️
Heard. And yet I don’t speak of happiness. I’m speaking to the assumption we make on being satisfied with situations, or things (like songs). I wonder if we are truly satisfied with the thing or if the thing is so familiar to us it merely feels like satisfaction.

Get me?
“When people lack a critical understanding of their reality… they cannot truly know that reality”

Are you satisfied with the way things are or are you used to it? #therapistsky
The law does not denote what is right or wrong, just what they say is acceptable or not—which depends on the applied isms

Don’t get caught up thinking that right/wrong are the same as legal/illegal
The world would be a better place if some folk would just learn to shut the hell up. Every thought is not worthy of being shared 😪

Be careful. If you allow “society” to define the legitimacy of your relationship, it will fall short of their expectations.
I think ppl don’t really take it in though.
A desire to keep the peace between folk is not necessarily a way to keep the peace within yourself #TherapistSky
Underwhelmed.
Whelmed.
Overwhelmed.
With love: sometimes you be using “Big Heart” to excuse yourself from having boundaries. It’s cute (I guess), but hella inaccurate and VERY problematic
