You Don’t Need Anyone’s Permission But Your Own (Master of Counseling Intensive: Day 1) | Ep 264

The Reality Check Podcast

I’m away this week on a Master of Counseling intensive, and each day I’m sharing key lessons and insights that are emerging as I dive deeper into the therapeutic process.

If you're curious about what therapy training is really like, work in the healing space, or simply want to deepen your own self-awareness, these reflections may offer meaningful takeaways.

The insights that landed today:
- Use questions sparingly, they can interrupt more than they help.
- Silence is a gift and a point of difference. Use it.
- Many of us are still waiting for permission from something outside ourselves.
- Change the word ‘but’ for ‘and’.
- Ensure that you are grounded and have a procedure for when a client triggers you.
- Reframing life as art is powerfully healing.
