Day 3833: The power to change

If I didn’t believe that people had the power to change, I wouldn’t be a psychotherapist. It’s also occurring to me, here and now, that “The Power to Change” might be a good title for the book my friend Megan and I are writing about our experiences as psychotherapists. Other possible book titles include …

  • “Psyched About Psychotherapy”
  • “All Healing is Mutual”
  • “You Have Options”
  • “It’s Not Your Grandfather’s Psychotherapy”

… all of which we have the power to change.

When I’m scared or overwhelmed, I can forget that I have the power to change things, including myself.

Do you see the power to change in my images for today?

.

On National Financial Freedom Day, too many Americans don’t have the power to change their financial situation to reach financial freedom, especially after the recent Supreme Court rulings.

I probably don’t have the power to change the person on Twitter who replied to my last question of the day with this: “One of the most sideways leftist tweets I’ve ever seen. Do you, Ann.”

However, I do have the power to change my reaction to that by replying, “Thanks. I will.”

Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for “the power to change.”

I’m happy to hear from Nat Kendall-Taylor that framing has the power to change the bias against old people.

Thanks to all who have the power to change, including YOU.
