Brain Matters Coffee

A little update: I’ve accepted a position as a barista for a coffee shop here in the San Diego area! I’m extremely excited to learn even more about coffee, and course, be around people. For decades, I thought I was an introvert, but I recently learned that I am actually an ambivert. I need both people and isolation, lol. I am my own worst critic, and I often live in my own head for hours, days even. It’s exhausting to say the least.

Business is still operating as usual around here, it just means my skills are gonna get sharper every day. Thanks for joining me on this journey, folks!

Always trying to find the little joys, because those are what keep me going. Coffee is one of the few things I get to do just for myself.

Therapy is cool, yeah, but it can also be hard. Really hard. And sometimes it takes time to find a therapist and a type of therapy that works for you.

I’ve been attempting to navigate this system for years, and covid has definitely made it harder. I don’t like teletherapy; it causes more anxiety and disconnect for me. Virtual programs in general have been a source of great stress, but it’s kind of the only option right now, isn’t it? Of course, some folks are operating in person now, but it’s rare. And then there’s the issue of insurance on top of it all.

If you’re having a hard time finding a therapist and a type of therapy that works for you, please know you aren’t alone. I have hope that there’s got to be something out there for everyone. Don’t give up just yet.
