The emotions! I freaking loved that movie so much. I took my 7 year old but I thought I probably left with more of a message than he did. I wouldn't say I HAVE anxiety, so much as I often feel anxious, and this is kind of embarrassing, but all week since seeing it, I've been actively thinking "let Joy take the console." Your breakdown of what the emotions are saying in your head made me laugh. So spot on.

Hi Jen! It was so good, right?? I definitely heard lots of adult sniffles in the theater at the end of the movie. I'm so here for your Inside Out affirmation! There must be something grounding about imagining that little blue haired lady calmly take control. Love it. :)

I can totally picture Petya Headquarters with all the emotions in super cool glasses and funky earrings. If only my design skills were better to bring this to life haha! Thank you for always being such an awesome cheerleader. I'm so happy to be here. 💗

THIS post! I love it. So creative and clever - especially the custom graphic design work. I was nodding along and laughing with you throughout the whole thing. Brilliant!

I LOVE that you feel me on this and best of all that you appreciate my photography editing skills. A woman after my own heart! Thanks so much for your kind words :)

I’m so glad that term gave you something to work with. It’s so real. I often tell clients after particularly intense sessions to plan on resting and drinking lots of water.

What a genius way to lay it all out via inside out 2 emotions. All so, so relatable.

I thought about you after my session and how exhausting it must be on the other side of the emotion dump! Adding water to my vulnerability hangover toolkit. So grateful for you, Kaitlyn!

This may be weird to hear but it’s not as exhausting as you may think. It can be, of course, and yet in other ways it’s invigorating. We’re a weird breed, us therapists. 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️

Also I’m obsessed with jellyfish. 🪼 I have the Monterey Bay Aquarian jellyfish live cam saved on my computer as a bookmark for whenever I need it.

Today I learned there are jellyfish live cams and I am SO here for it! That sounds so relaxing.
