Yesterday, in my Coping and Healing group, we talked about how we don’t have to be doing it right all the time to survive. If we are constantly in fear of not doing it right, we may constrict ourselves lest we say or do the wrong thing.
I could tell that the discussion was doing it right for the group participants as they tried to let go of perfectionism and the unhelpful messages they had gotten from their families of origin.
As I face another day of internal pressure of doing it right, I will remember the guidelines we talked about in yesterday’s group:
- Show up.
- Be gentle.
- Tell the truth.
I hope I’m doing it right by sharing these images today.

I’m actually not dead inside because I just saw that the interview about me and music is available on the Therapist Uncensored podcast.

When I listen later today, I hope I’ll be doing it right.
Many thanks to all who are here for this “doing it right” blog post, including YOU!
