I post a lot of heavy stuff on this blog sometimes huh? Trauma, heck even the Epstein files. So I think we need a lighter post. Today, if our office had a theme song, what would it be?

According to Sean (Caring Conversations Therapeutic Services, LLC owner & LMFT), it would be "Carry on My Wayward Son" by Kansas.

Mental healthy lyrics we love from the song-

"Carry on my wayward son

There'll be peace when you are done"

"Once I rose above the noise and confusion

Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion"

"On a stormy sea of moving emotion

Tossed about, I'm like a ship on the ocean"

Sounds a lot like healing right? There's peace when you find healing. And the therapy journey? I don't think I could explain it better than a "stormy sea of moving emotion". But what comes after a storm? Peace. Calm.

Caring Conversations Therapeutic Services, LLC therapist Charlene DeRito, LPC, described our office with 2 songs - "For Good" from Wicked and "Keep Your Head Up" by Andy Grammar.

Therapy-esque lyrics we love: (from "For Good")

"That people come into our lives for a reason

Bringing something we must learn

And we are led

To those who help us most to grow

If we let them

And we help them in return

Well, I don't know if I believe that's true

But I know I'm who I am today

Because I knew you"

"So much of me

Is made of what I learned from you"

Beautiful. This is absolutely our wish for our clients. That feom receiving therapy from us, you experience positive change.

Now from "Keep Your Head Up" -

"This is just a journey, drop your worries

You are gonna turn out fine"

"The sun will always come again"

Yes. Even in your darkest moments, theres sun - light, hope, change - coming. The bad days (weeks, months, years) don't have to last forever.

Kaitlyn Borris, the magical fairy godmother of Caring Conversations Therapeutic Services, LLC choose "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel.

Therapy-esque lyrics we love from this one -

"We didn't start the fire

It was always burning since the world's been turning

We didn't start the fire

No, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it"

Intergenerational trauma, anyone?? We didnt start the fire, the systems and traumas set in place before we existed did. But, we fight anyway. For ourselves. For our children. For our grandchildren. For a better tomorrow, a better America, and a better world. We didn't cause this [insert whatever current event or catastrophes are happening], but we are trying to fight it.

There ya go! What would you have picked for CCTS?

Be well!
