self-actualization

Are Your Strengths Working For or Against You? // ¿Sientes que tus fortalezas están trabajando a tu favor o en tu contra?

Once you have been a therapist for a while, you develop a few tried and true techniques, exercises, or phrases that you notice have pretty consistently helped clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves. Let me share one of mine with you for free, but don’t tell anyone!

The Relationship Between Self-Care, Self-Love, and Self-Actualization // La relación entre el cuidado personal, el amor propio y la autorrealización

These days when you hear the term “self-care” it’s hard not to think about things like vacations, shopping sprees, and spa days. While I am a proponent of pampering yourself, it seems like our collective understanding of what constitutes self-care is becoming more lavish and materialistic, making a fundamental component of self-actualization feel out of reach for many. To counter this narrative, I want to share the framework I use with clients to make self-care feel more accessible, applicable, and impactful.
