My therapist encouraged me to find healthy ways to self-soothe.

So I started color-coding my anxiety spreadsheet.

I've been doing the work in therapy to develop a growth mindset

but so far, the only thing that's grown is my therapist's billable hours

I've been trying to practice self-compassion in therapy

but it's hard when my inner critic has a stronger Twitter presence than my inner peace

My therapist told me I need to learn to 'sit with my feelings.'

So I rearranged my entire apartment and alphabetized my spice rack instead.
