3 Things Therapists Say That Make Me Cringe

"Don't ghost your therapist" ---> its YOUR treatment, queen! If you want to end sessions by sending a smoke signal or carrier pigeon, or by ghosting, by all means, go for it.

To be clear, ghosting isnt what we want clients to do (we prefer a closing session!), but it happens. How your therapy ends should be on your terms, not a therapist guilting you into a session.

"Make your therapist proud" ---> Okay, I don't know that I've heard a therapist say this (praise.), but I've seen it on t-shirts before. Sis, make yourself proud. A good therapist is already proud of you, you're showing up and doing hard work.

"Where do you feel that in your body?" --> Too many therapists say that without having the somatic training to know what to actually do with that information.
