I've been thinking lately about what the purpose of this blog is. When I started my private practice, I heard from other successful private practice clinicians that it's a good way to engage my clients as well as anybody who's interested in supporting my practice. While the idea of this was exciting, I soon learned that it's not my style. My first post was a reaction to a movie we watched and was easily written because it was a powerful movie. However, each time since that I've sat down to try and blog, I've gotten pretty frustrated. I've had some interesting topics that I want to talk about, but the thought of compiling them into coherent writing was overwhelming. I felt like I was back in school and had to research these topics and present the right information in order to keep people engaged. Not exactly what I want to spend my days doing!!
So, I've decided to take the pressure off myself. Instead of worrying about who's reading this and whether it's worth their time, I'm going to just post about the things I'm learning, the things I find interesting, and talk about various experiences I'm having. They may or may not be therapeutic in nature, but my hope is that they might be thought provoking to whoever reads them (if anyone actually does).
So, if you're reading this, I invite you to interact with me. If you read something that is particularly interesting or thought provoking, don't hesitate to comment on it. Don't worry about your comment sounding stupid or being over intellectual. There's no judgement from my end and screw anyone that's judging us!! I look forward to where these conversations may lead.
