You are more than your circumstances or what other

You are more than your circumstances or what other people tell you! Say it out loud and say it again. Even if it may not feel true today, I promise you one day it will ☀️ ⁠

life balance vs giving one hundred percent⁠ ⁠

life balance vs giving one hundred percent⁠
⁠
Imagine you have an empty cup and that you could fill it with five different kinds of juice to make a fancy juice blend. Now, pretend the 5 juices are work, family, self-care, spirituality, etc. Now, pretend that the cup represents you. If you tried to dump all of the juices into the cup what would happen? You would have a big mess to clean up because there is no way to get all of that juice into one cup.⁠
⁠
So, what does it mean to give 100% of you to something and why are we all always striving to give more?⁠
Clients often come to counseling looking for life balance because they are struggling with perfectionism, time management, balancing responsibilities, and prioritizing. Time and time again I hear people say things such as, “I give 100% of myself to my kids” or “Work is 100% of my focus”. While it is admirable that a person would want to commit all that they have to something or someone they love, in reality, we cannot give 100% of ourselves to anything. We still have to make time for eating, sleeping, and sitting in traffic while driving to work! That’s what life balance is all about!⁠
⁠
While I recognize that this is probably not what a person means when they state that they give 100% to something, it does bring to light an important fact. The fact that so much of the time we are overextending ourselves past what is mentally and physically healthy for us. Trying to fill the cup with only one thing (or all of them at once) when actually you need a little bit of each of the five juices to make the amazing juice blend that is you! ⁠

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)⁠ ⁠ A lic

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)⁠
⁠
A licensed professional counselor (LPC) is a master's degree mental health service provider. These professionals are trained to work with individuals, families, couples, and groups. LPC’s are trained to treat mental, behavioral, and emotional problems or disorders. LPC’s can often be found working in mental health care facilities, community agencies, and private practice.⁠
⁠
Requirements to be an LPC⁠
⁠
1. Possession of a master’s or doctoral degree in counseling forms a national or regionally accredited institution of higher education. ⁠
2. Passage of the National Counselor Examination (NCE)⁠
3. Completion of 3000 supervised hours of post master’s degree supervised clinical experience⁠
4. Completion of 24 hours of continuing education hours (per year).⁠
⁠
Differences Between an LPC and an LPC-Intern⁠
⁠
The only significant difference between the two is that an intern holds a temporary license while they complete their 3000 supervised hours. During this time, interns are required to attend weekly supervised meetings to consult on cases. They can also receive guidance and treatment recommendations. Interns are not required to start accumulating CEU’s until they receive their permeant license.⁠

I want to introduce you to my “Good Things Jar.” He may not look like much, but believe me when I say this little guy has been with me through A LOT. When I was first starting out as a therapist, I was plagued with self-doubt: Am I truly ready? Do I know it all? Am I fully, 100% competent? Do I have what it takes to save the relationship, save the marriage, and save/fix the life of every person who walks into my office? Spoiler alert: Negative. I was expecting myself to be the perfect therapist, but no one can ever be perfect. Needless to say, after experiencing some rough sessions (And they happen, y’all. It’s OK, it’s part of the process!), I was really struggling in the confidence department. That’s when I decided I needed to find a way to remember the good sessions, the tiny triumphs, and the small victories… and voila! “The Good Things Jar” was born. Whenever something positive and productive happened during a session, I’d scribble it down and put it in my jar, building it up and filling it with love until that inevitable day I’d need it. Then, when I found myself exhausted, overwhelmed, and battered after a rough session/day, I’d curl up into my chair and read (often through tearful eyes) through all these little notes. Notes that reminded me that I AM awesome, I AM capable, that I CAN do this because I HAVE. If you struggle with remembering how strong you are on your worst days, I encourage you to start a “Good Things Jar” of your own. You are a badass… and who better to remind you of that than YOU. #beyourownbiggestfan -Maigen Pham
