Tonight I held my first pro bono group session at a women and children’s shelter and it went amazing! I haven’t facilitated a group in nearly a year as I’ve been teaching. Earlier this month, I facilitated a virtual mental health workshop for a national corporate team and I imagined that would be difficult as well being that I haven’t done a training in some time either.

These moments are strong reminders that I am continuing to strengthen my mezzo level skills as a professor as opposed to getting “rusty.”

My micro practice skills however… I haven’t done individual therapy in a couple months. I’ve got a couple clients scheduled though so yeah my schedule’s busy but I’m committed to the growth.

Trying to practice more dialectical thinking thinking so I’m still getting up and going to the gym at 5am even though I’m eating like shit right now because 50% is better than 0% or whatever whatever…

#also my trainer is on my ass

A paradox of my mind is that I spend a lot of time ruminating, worrying, fixating even on potential challenges or obstacles but in times when I am faced with genuine adversity I am quick to problem-solve and those issues are swiftly eradicated. I trust that I am deeply connected physically and spiritually to my own will and I just wish that knowing that would make me less anxious but it doesn’t!!! Maybe I view my own anxiety as a training camp and credit my problem solving ability to the fact that I am so anxious. A core belief that must be undone….

#like you’re not stronger because you worry baby

Being a professor and receiving end of semester surveys from students is like being forced to go through a long comment section about yourself I actually dread it and no matter how many positive comments I get the negative ones stick out so much I actually think I won’t be reading them this semester lol

#idk I think many will be positive but I don’t need the negative energy right now lol

BLACK TRANS WOMAN SEEKING MUTAL AID!

Shit is clicking WAY DOWN for the dolls!

My current life conditions are terrible all of my normal streams of income have disappeared! My family has become increasingly hostile. My car registration renewal is l more than 800 dollars so I have no relieable transpotion rn and it cost so much to commute from where I live it's 100 dollars to uber to SF ONE WAY. So I end up spending like 200 just to go interview for jobs in the city they only give you an interview just to say they have diverse candidates so I’m not so I'm NOT optimistic at all! I’m literally only surviving from depop sales and fashion net 90 freelance gigs that only come so often so if you buy something from my depop today (everything is on sale!) that would help out a lot or just donate so I can get lunch or something!
