Winter Storm 2026-Does this Remind You of COVID Too?
Podcast: Covid: 5ish Years Later
Here’s a podcast of the article I previously published. It’s a follow up to my previous podcast in 2022, so bear with me as I continue to learn what I’m doing! https://open.spotify.com/show/2V7cM5vOOkP2rbdyy0J5LZ Hope y’all are staying safe! We had some really strong winds last night that blew over our fence, but now all is peaceful and sunny.
COVID: 5 (Almost-ish) Years Later: What Effects I’m Seeing Through My Practice
So..if you’ve ever read my blog you probably know I’m a mental health therapist. I work in a group practice known as Blank Slate Therapy in McKinney, Texas; and I’ve been there for 5 years as of this past end of January Long sentence, right? I began my own private practice here in Texas in the summer of 2019 just after we moved here from Indiana. As a Licensed Therapist in Indiana, I had done…
Peace, Tranquility, and Productiveness
What brings you peace? When I think about what brings me peace, I think of several things. One things that brings me peace is water. I love to be on the water, and looking at the pool in my backyard is one of the things I enjoy most about my home. I love to kayak. For a while, I belonged to a ‘Meet Up’ group that kayaked multiple times during the warmer months. For me, being on the water is…
Trauma: Working Through It, Letting it Go, and Living with It
I’ve had a few people who I meet with for mental health therapy tell me that they chose their therapist based on their background and training in Trauma. For me, when I think about mental health needs or things that can affect our daily functioning, I think of the following: Traumas are: What we have experienced, our bio-chemistry, our sensitivities, and our pre-dispositions which make us…
Understanding Instincts: A Therapist’s Perspective
Daily writing promptDo you trust your instincts?View all responses So… should I actually trust my gut? That’s a solid question! As a mental health therapist, I rely on my instincts during the 53 minute sessions I have 3 times per week (Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays); with clients. It is imperative that I trust what I have to say, but it is even more imperative that I LISTEN to what my clients…

Mental Health and ADHD
Do you enjoy your job? I love my job. I’ve been trained as a mental health therapist since 1995, and have been with the private practice I’m with since 2020. I did a lot of non-profit work between ‘95 and 2018, and enjoyed lots of pieces of that as well. It has always been important to me to make a difference. Currently, I’m specializing in working with people who have ADHD, depression, and…

Pilates
What are your favorite physical activities or exercises? So when I was little I really wanted to be a gymnast. I watched gymnastics on tv, I endlessly practiced doing a handstand unsuccessfully, and I successfully practiced headstands. Fast forward to the summer before my 50th year, and I moved to Texas. My childhood friend was a Pilates instructor, and I had learned about a condition known as…

Neurological Differences: ADHD and What is Neurologically Typical?
ADHD is a tough neurological difference. We live in a world where, historically, we call neurological differences or behaviors that are hard to manage ‘problems’, or mental health issues. We have a book, in the mental health field, called the DSM, which is the Diagnostical and Statistical Manual. It’s currently being updated and will be out in a new version in the next year or so. I started to…

Changing and Staying the Same
What is one thing you would change about yourself? Today’s prompt is the question you see above; what is one thing you would change about yourself. My immediate thought was that i would change my flexible joints. They are a part of who I am, and enable me to squish my hand into a tiny fist, but also cause quite a bit of pain. Today though, I’m thinking about anxiety. My imagination works…

Breaks: Here are a Few (one or two or so)
Do you need a break? From what? I love breaks. If I’m with others in a group setting and the instructor asks ‘do y’all need a break?’ I’ll smile affirmatively. There are those who love consistent learning without breaks. Those who fast forward through commercials. And then there’s versions more similar to me. At the ripple old age of 50, I received a formal ADHD diagnosis. It wasn’t so much…

Softball for the Win, Volleyball for Life
What are your favorite sports to watch and play? When I was younger, all I wanted to do was to play sports. I kind of started with swimming, which is definitely the best sport for me. I love breast stroke, do fairly ok at freestyle, and was able to stay bouyant with back and butterfly. But if you ask me, my first sport was softball. I played catch, and could throw to 2nd when I first played…

Movies, Thanksgiving, and More
As we get a little closer to the Thanksgiving holiday, we’re looking around our house at some things that can use a little sprucing up, hoping for lights on the house to be installed today, and enjoying some sun on a cool day in November. One of the things I’m working on is learning about creating videos, marketing the Parke Counseling and Artistry page, and ingesting some of the information I…
