Therapy misconceptions

This is a great article to showing some common misconceptions, thoughts and ideas that are often not discussed when choosing or working with a therapist. I believe this is helpful for everyone, especially for those who are hesitant to reach out for support. As a practitioner, this is help to reflect some clients apprehension and approach to working with folks. It is important to remind practitioners of these concepts as well when reaching out for support.

Microaggression

Microaggressions can be a challenge to identify and call out. They are not always so apparent, especially when calling someone out. It is good to be aware of this in our practice, towards clients, other service providers, or said to us. I have witnessed the majority of these microaggressions and it can be challenging to find the voice needed to interrupt. This does a fabulous job putting visuals to an issue that is not always seen or heard.
