I can’t tell you how many times people come to therapy and apologize for their feelings–in a space that’s all about understanding their feelings + while they’re literally surrounded by tissue boxes 🤧

Next time you downplay your feelings, ask yourself: Who taught you that *their* comfort is more important than yours?

@LoriGottlieb1 Great question (which I anticipate using because of the news today my application to practice has been accepted by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario! )

@LoriGottlieb1 Yep i've learned this the hard way as well. Your feelings are just as real and important as any other part of your body or mind.

@LoriGottlieb1 totally been there. habit not to upset friends and family

@LoriGottlieb1 Really terrible advice you gave the woman whose father shows up at her job trying to force a relationship So terrible and harmful that I think you should ask for the article to be removed from social media.

@LoriGottlieb1 As a therapist, I can’t imagine that reply ever being helpful to a patient.
