How does your therapist deal with feeling any form of stress?

Stress is an everyday part of daily life for all. Everyone experiences different forms and levels of stress, even your therapist. Look at the state of the world today, the anarchy seems to be spreading in every direction, the fear of the wellbeing of our children and the wellbeing on our nations and society can be full of stress. Therapists not only have to worry about their families, their job, but also your wellbeing, that of your family and all their other clients. Do you see your therapist falling apart? Do you see your therapist curled up in a ball, in the corner of her office, stressed out? Does your therapist come to your sessions, high, on drugs or medication or smelling of booze? Does your therapist appear to be stress free? Does your therapist appear to have a handle of her stress? Why is that, why is it that your therapist doesn't need to treat their stress as you are instructed to treat yours? Wouldn't that be a fair conversation to have? You know your therapist cares for you and wants the best for you, why not ask her to share with you, her coping skills. Can you imagine the next time  you feel any form of stress, rather than doing the usual, you decide to copy what your therapist does, and the danger passes? What would that be like for you? what would that mean for you, going forward? That, in that moment of the stress not overpowering you, you get to feel like your therapist, that you are capable of coping with what ever life throws at you? This then give you the courage and confidence to ask for more coping skills and then to ask your parents, your family, your siblings, your loved ones, your friends for their coping skills. Can you see yourself; in say 6 months; able to handle things that used to baffle you? What would that feel like for you #howtolivestressandanxietyfree24hoursadaybyrichardtierney Learn the past didn't happen to the person you are today, so the diagnosis of depression or ptsd are not yours to suffer. You carry the memory of what happened to a younger aspect of you in another life time; this is why we refer to this person as your inner child; it happened to them, not you. You carry that memory and sympathy pains for them as a show of support and solidarity for what they went through. #traumarecoveryanonymous Don't be afraid to ask for a solution that works for other people, especially your therapist.
