We all know the song “It’s My Party” and I’m sure all of you read that and finished with the lyrics, “And I’ll cry if I want to.” That song has always confused me because who cries at a party? A party is supposed to be fun and full of joy and laughter, not tears.…

Yes, you read that right. I am back on the therapist market after my first new therapist broke up with me after our first 45 minute session. It was my shortest relationship ever. In all seriousness, the reason for the breakup was totally understandable and I appreciate her honesty. We just weren’t a fit and…

Due to insurance, I recently had to break up with A+ therapist. It was a very amicable break up that was not documented on social media and didn’t include anyone having to take sides. Those of you reading this who have had to go through a therapist breakup know that it can be difficult as…

One of the lyrics in the song is “Don’t you know. They’re talking about a revolution? It sounds like a whisper.” If…

Yesterday was a full circle moment for me. A moment that 2, 3, 4 years ago I could have never imagined happening. I led two 45 minute workshops on how I have used nature to help me ground and “heal” on my chronic illness journey. The BLC Sara (Before Long Covid) would have never imagined…

I don’t know about you but whenever I hear the word “iceberg” I think of the Titanic. I assure you this post is not about the sinking of a boat or the sinking of anything. Recently, I was in a session with A+ therapist and we were talking about the continued struggle I have of…

These 4 words came out of A+ therapist’s mouth at our last session. I was talking about the nervousness I feel about an upcoming workshop I’m doing for an event focused on nature and healing. I have been nervous about the event since I said yes because I feel like what do I really have…
