Every day, I work with people to teach them how to sit with their feelings - whatever they are. It is amazing how we have been taught to push away any feelings other than “good” ones. All emotions tell us something and are inherently useful.

This is such an important reminder from @mindfullivingla because we often fall into the trap of believing that because we thought about something it is true. Our thoughts are simply ideas. Some are true but many more are guesses, predictions, magical thinking and even lies. We can all work on approaching our thoughts with curiosity while also recognizing how problematic they can be. #mindfulness #thoughts #cbt #thinking #psychology #cognitivebehavioraltherapy #therapist #westlakevillage #losangeles #westlakevillagepsychologist

The last few weeks have brought many ups and downs as I face the changes brought on by this pandemic. I found myself reflecting on this quote today. We certainly don’t like some of the changes but I encourage us all to remember that from them can come growth if we choose to engage in that way. #growthmindset #psychology #values #growth #change #pandemicpositivity #pandemic #focus #therapy #westlakevillage #losangeles #california #westlakevillagepsychologist

There are moments when the healthiest thing we can do for ourselves is to stop, plant both feet firmly on the ground and just breathe. #breathe #mindfulness #psychology #psychologist #mindfulmoment #grounded #westlakevillage #thousandoaks #losangeles #california #therapy #clincialpsychologist

When we know what values are at the heart of what is important to us, it becomes easier to make decisions because we can use those values to guide us.

So often we listen only long enough to think about our own response. Think about what it is like to talk to someone you are not sure is listening. It is much more powerful to listen in a conversation than to speak.

I have always loved butterflies and the amazing ways they symbolize growth and change. This quote is a wonderful reminder that the human capacity for change is just as powerful and beautiful. #butterfly #metamorphosis #change #growth #psychology #quotes #quoteoftheweek #wisdom Art from @letsgomakeart painted by @drstephaniedavidson

Our minds can trick us into thinking that worrying is helping us to prepare and avoid the troubles that could be ahead. However, we have learned that worrying often does little to help us and instead it causes great suffering. We fair much better when we can be present in the moment and address what is happening right now. #mindfulness #worry #cbt #psychology #therapy #findpeace #beherenow #psychologist #westlakevillage #losangeles #la #westlakevillagepsychologist

We are all evolving as we make our way through this life. Our evolution is often filled with challenges and struggles and from those experiences we emerge a more beautiful version of ourselves. #evolution #change #mayangelou #quoteoftheday #butterfly #psychology #emerge #beauty #losangeles #westlakevillage #westlakevillagepsychologist

This is a great reminder for all of us especially after all we have experienced during the pandemic. We are human so it is important to leave room for variability. Repost from @_hi_anxiety_ #mondaymotivation #startfresh #newweek #newweeknewgoals #psychology #beinghuman

For years, I saw balance as an elusive destination. I was so sure that if I could align my life in the right way I would find balance and peace in my life. I have since learned that finding balance is an ongoing process of prioritizing, renegotiating and adapting. Balance is created when I am able to keep what I value at the center of my life and then fill in with whatever else fits cohesively. Many days, I am out of balance but there is nothing wrong with that as long as I continue to create space for a more balanced existence. #balance #balancedlife #adapt #create #psychology #values #reassess #therapy #westlakevillage #losangeles #westlakevillagepsychologist #selfcare
