I need a break...

  • I received a comment on a recent video asking how I was. Wanted to provide a little update on where I am right now in my life. I don't normally share a lot about my life or where I am personally, but I do believe this will align with my mission to help at least one person. Sending you all so much love.
    Not sure what this video really is or how to properly describe it since it's a bit of a depression storytime, anxiety storytime, burnout storytime, how to grieve, how to set boundaries or maybe answers the question: do therapists need therapists? Just wanted to provide where I'm at. So if you're struggling too, you're not alone. And it's temporary.

      Hey, Kati, I hope you’re feeling better now. I appreciate how you made yourself vulnerable here. It takes a strong person to do that.
      As someone who goes to therapy regularly myself, it is cool to see that you and many others in the mental health field are human beings yourself.
      I’m glad that you have so many fond memories of your Grandma, be grateful that you had so much time with her. I lost my Grandparents when I was a baby and I have very few memories of them.
      I too like your Grandma am religious. I pray God’s love finds you well. 🙏✝️🙏

      Katie, you have absolutely no idea of just how bright your light shines... I think some people were brought into this world to be great beacons of light and love and you are one of them. Even this video where you show incredible courage and honesty in your sincere vulnerability is profoundly moving and allows people to connect with you on a heart level... to realise we are all one and we are all struggling in our own way... and that there is great strength in owning your vulnerability and allowing yourself that space to crumble and cry, scream, grieve etc.
      Our greatest personal growth comes from pain, as hard and unpleasant as it is. Holding space for you and sending you so much love to just BE, not try to be or do anything but just BE in whatever form that looks like. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️🤩🌻

    Thank you. As a therapist myself I have been looking online, on TH-cam, on social media to see if anyone is talking about the incredible burn out many of us have faced over these past two years. All I have seen is very surface level mention of it. I would have never predicted I would literally fall apart and become so dysfunctional that I woke up one day unable to answer my client’s calls because I was frozen and fatigued and didn’t have the words to explain it. I worried if I tried to explain it, I would be unethically burdening them with “my stuff” or bringing out in them a need to care take me. And I just couldn’t think of what to do or who to ask for help. It was making me feel kind of crazy that no one else was talking about this. Your video has helped me feel less lonely. Thank you for your courage.

      Wow. My grandpa died in 2009, and my grandma was 81 when she died just a few days ago. I last visited her on her 81st birthday 5 months ago and wished I came there more often, it was just a few rides away. When I went to the hospital to visit her it was too late and I regret not coming sooner. She was the last grandparent I had. I'll miss her, she and mother always do video calls with me when I'm at sea working to make me feel less lonely. No more pain and sorrow, grandma.
      Sorry for the long comment, but it just made me think of her and grandpa.

    Cancer took my Grandfather in 2020, and he was the single most important person in my life at that time, so when I lost him I was crushed. I also lost my Grandmother in 99 and my Mother in 05, and my Aunt is currently struggling with Parkinson's disease, so I definitely feel you. It's rough out there right now and losing people who are important to you doesn't make it any easier. It's good that you're able to come to terms with your own struggles, otherwise how would you be able to help your clients come to terms with theirs. In my opinion, it only makes you a better therapist.

    My grandmother passed away 2 months ago. She wasn’t just my grandmother, she was the only person that raised me after my parents divorced when I was 3 yrs old and my parents didn’t want anything to do with me or my sisters.
    She Was the only person that ever accepted me. The only person I knew without a doubt truly loved me. The only person that ever helped me. The only person I knew I could always go to for anything. The only person I could to talk to snd that would actually listen. I mean really listen. Everything about me, is influenced by her. She was my family. When she passed away, I felt like I just lost everyone in my life. My grandmother, mother, friend, therapist, stylist, home decorator, cook, and teacher.
    I know the pain you’re feeling. It sucks and hard to get through each day but we’ll get through it because we’re strong like our grandmothers.

    Something that isn't spoken about nearly enough, is that most therapists need therapy themselves and I say that with love. Soaking up others problems, despite having a caring nature, has to be emotionally taxing. Knowing when to take a break is so important and it's beautiful to see this side of you. It seperates you from therapist Kati.

    Oh Kati, I am sitting here and crying with you because I can feel exactly what you are saying.
    There are so much happening worldwide and in our personal lives as you say. I sat and thought the other day that the word “unbelievable” has been used so “loosely” and today all these things are happening and the word unbelievable has absolutely lost it’s impact in describing what we are currently experiencing. I am pretty sure that 90% of this community feels like you do at this day and age. I’m also realising that there are a pretty damn good reason why God specifically say / warn in the bible that the last days will be hard for His people, because it is damn hard, and I’m not saying we are in the last days but we are definitely not at the beginning or somewhere in the middle. Thank you for putting out there in words and with emotion exactly what is on most of our minds and thank you for staying true because that is also a characteristic that lacks in these days.

    Thanks for your honesty and sharing, Katie. Myself, family and friends have each experienced the overwhelm of continual world tragedy and personal challenges. Anxiety and depression symptoms are at unusually high rates now and that makes it even harder for healthcare professionals who are in the same boat. Your sharing probably helped many who thought it was just them and now feel validated by your honesty. Do whatever you need for self care. Your supporters care more about your health and safety than seeing chirpy videos!

    Thank you for your candidness. It feels like there's never-ending pressure to "be okay". Societal pressure. I appreciate your authenticity and I think being real about this stuff is so important. It makes the struggle feel less like there's something wrong with the individual more like there's something wrong with the current conditions we're living in and we need to talk about our collective challenges with it. So thank you for talking about it. Thank you for being open. That's a lot you're processing. I'm sorry for your loss.

    OMG, thank you so much for sharing. That is exactly how I've been feeling. Just crying about everything that is collapsing around us. I moved back to NYC during the pandemic. I'm a midwife working in a trauma hospital. So much stress all around, the never-ending pandemic, the war, shooting after shooting on subways, bridges...I'm afraid to turn on the news but also afraid I'll put myself in a fairytale of normalcy if I don't know what is current. I recently read about all the "pandemic dogs" being surrendered and balled my eyes out. I do have a great therapist, so, I'm so much better than I was a few months ago. Thanks to her, yoga, meditation, exercise, journaling and knowing that I'm not alone in my feelings.
    I'm so sorry for your loss of your grandmother. Please remember to do what you need to do to take care of yourself and know that there are so many people who appreciate you that we'll all be here whenever you're ready to continue.

    I've just gone through two weeks of ECT therapy to try and cure my severe depression. You are not alone in feeling that life is absolutely f**ked up right now. In fact, it is foolish to believe that life can ever be "normal". We're all just trying to live as long as we can while not getting ourselves killed.

    Adulting and life is just hard. And the older you get the more things seem to keep piling on... I have to learn to say "No" more often and relax. The more people or family you have the more events and needs seem to pile up. Im exhausted. I think we all are.

I also lost my Grandma, some months ago, and I teared up with you as you were telling us about your struggles and yes there is often a perceived pressure that we have to be "put together" well sometimes we just crumble under the pressure and that's just life but let me tell you, you will make it through so hang in their kid and continue to look after yourself.
