POV: You think I’m writing something profound while you’re talking…

Meanwhile my notes are probably:
✔️ “10/10 self-awareness.”
✔️ “Please give yourself the same compassion you give everyone else.”
✔️ “This is actually a nervous system thing.”
✔️ “Someone get this human a snack and an uninterrupted nap.”
✔️ “Mask dropped for 3.7 seconds…progress!”
✔️ “Can we normalize not apologizing for existing?”
✔️ “Executive function is the plot twist again.”
✔️ “Reminder: They are not ‘too much.’ They’re dysregulated.”
✔️ “I wish they could see themselves the way I do.”

In reality, my notes are much less exciting (and much more clinical 😅), but if you ever wondered what I’m thinking during session…it’s usually some version of, “You’re doing better than you realize.”

What’s something you think your therapist is secretly writing during your sessions?
