Today I start the session with some updates on work and how my work with an individual client may be changing due to summer camp. For today's session I explain how the idea for this session came to mind. I then share with you the 3 ways I have worked to unclog my mind when it gets stuck. Our mind does it's job so well for the most part. It works hard all day filtering out information, but sometimes it needs some help. Reframing, closing my eyes and yelling "Silencio Bruno!" in my head are what work for me. These approaches may not work for you or only work for you in certain situations. The only thing that matters is that you find what works for you. Email me at "[email protected]" or dm me on Instagram(link below). Thank you for listening!

Today's session goes over how goodbyes are awkward. We start off the session with a brief podcast update letting you know that I will be uploading sessions every other week instead of weekly. We then get into our session content. I share with you how I have noticed people around me dealing with changes and saying goodbye. A popular way we protect ourselves from being hurt from loss is reframing the situation. There are a range of ways we deal with changes in our relationships and that is normal. No one is supposed to be good at goodbyes. People mean so much to us and help us throughout our lives so of course it will be difficult to let them go.

Today I start off the session with an update on how my past 2 weeks have been going. I share my frustration and confusion about my work with groups of kids. Then we transition into the topic for today. We begin by explaining some background information about a child I am working with so we all have the same information.

Today I share what I have learned and observed through my work with kids from k-8th grade. I facilitate group therapy and individual therapy at school during recess and after school programs. I started this position full on about a month ago and it is a whole new experience for me. It is a challenging position that has me anxious. I explain where my anxious feelings come from and how uncomfortable working with kids is. I also share what is more comfortable for me and how I learning to adapt to this new situation. I also share some ideas of ways you can get a group of kids' attention and model appropriate teamwork and communication behaviors. Kids are learning all the time, from their peers and environments so it is important to know how you can be influencing a child.

Today I share with you my experiences throughout this past week and what I have learned. First, I share my realization that I needed to change my daily routine up because I am now employed and need more energy throughout my day. I share some of the areas I am focusing on and altering in order to maintain a healthy mind and body. Nothing beats you knowing yourself so please take these suggestions as just that and remember to find what works for you. Next, I share my thought process when it comes to working with my first client after graduating and being unemployed for 6 months lol. I explain what stood out to me from my conversation with my client's parent and why. I also explain that the information I share with you today is just a piece of the story and I still need to meet with my client and start our therapeutic relationship. My thoughts at this time are my pre judgements of what my work with my client will look like and is not the full truth. This is just my initial thought process and my understanding of my clients are always evolving from my work with them.

Today, as you can tell by the title of today’s session we are going to be talk about the job offer I got. I explain what the job is and all that but we start with what my job hunting position was before getting the offer. Then we will get into how I found the job, their offer and my experience of counter offering. This is not a financial podcast so take my tips with a grain of salt as this was just my own experience. I know most of my audience is in their 20s but this I think can help anyone going into a new position.

In today's session I share what influenced this week's conversation. We start with some misconceptions you may have about these two styles and then get into what they are. I lay out details that help you identify an external processor and how to support someone who naturally gravitates towards this type. We then explore details that help you identify an internal processor and how to support them. I share personal stories that explore both types of processors and questions to ask if you are unsure of what type of support your friend needs.
