  • Into the Forest: A Practical Jungian Guide for Therapists

    The Invitation into the Forest Let’s be honest: Jungian theory can feel like wandering into a fog-drenched forest without a map, trying to decode dream symbols with one hand and light a therapeutic candle with the other. It’s mysterious, evocative—and occasionally downright confusing. But somewhere beyond the jargon of alchemy, shadow integration, and the collective…

  • AI Meets Therapy Notes: Write Smarter, Stay Ethical, and Ditch the Burnout

    The Love-Hate Relationship with Progress Notes Let’s be honest: progress notes are the broccoli of the therapy world. Good for you, required by insurance, and likely to make your soul wilt if you let them pile up past Friday. We’ve all had those weeks where the actual therapy part of the job is energizing—and then…

It’s insidious. It slithers into the room through secrecy, judgment, and self-loathing, whispering, “You’re…

  • The Illusion of Safety: Why Couples Therapy and IPV Should Never Mix

    Couples Therapy is Not a Fireproof Safe Let’s start with a scenario. You’re a well-intentioned therapist, sitting across from a couple who claims they “just have communication issues.” The tension is thick, the air static with unspoken grievances.
