Thrive SLO

What can we do? A few steps we’re taking: 1. Educate ourselves. Currently reading So You Want to Talk About Race by @ijeomaoluo 2. Donate. We’ve contributed to @thelovelandfoundation to provide free therapy for Black women & girls. 3. Speak up. For us, this means having difficult conversations with our families & friends, as well as in our sessions.... Perhaps you’ll consider taking these steps as well? Other ideas? Feel free to share in the comments or DM! xo Dr. Hannah & Dr. Sarah @ San Luis Obispo, California

We’re virtual! See Instagram stories for more COVID-19 updates and support! XO

Brené Brown (my researcher crush) says that we can only be as compassionate with others as we are with ourselves. I remember when I first read this, it was a big blow. I considered myself a very compassionate person however I was also incredibly perfectionistic and harsh with myself. This just did not compute for me, I must be an exception to this rule, right?

There are two common things I hear in my office. One is that clients are often wondering how to find people who they can really connect with. The second is people are often afraid to be truly seen due to fear of rejection. What I have learned is that people often settle for being, nice or likable in hopes of others not finding offense in who they are. [ 619 more words ] https://www.thriveslo.com/reject-being-likable/
