Changing Course Therapy, LLC
One thing I wish every client knew about therapy:
You are the hero here — not your therapist. 🤍
We can guide, support, teach skills, and hand you the metaphorical emotional dumbbells 😂🏋️♀️
…but you’re the one doing the hard reps:
✨ showing up
✨ practicing boundaries
✨ breaking patterns
✨ trying again when it’s uncomfortable
Therapy is a lot like a coach-athlete relationship. I may have the training, but YOU are the one putting in the blood, sweat, tears, and nervous system workouts. 💀
Please give yourself more credit for how hard you’re working.
🧠ADHD brains don’t do “simple.”
We do:
✔ one task
✔ three sub-tasks
✔ two emotional crises
✔ sudden hunger
✔ a random memory from 2007
✔ and then… eventually… the original task
If life feels like a series of side quests, it’s not you — it’s your executive functioning playing open-world mode with no map. 😂
And honestly?
You’re navigating it like a champ ☺️
If you want to lower the chaos level:
✨ Make tasks super easy to start
✨ Remove as many steps as humanly possible
✨ Use “done is better than perfect” as your personal slogan
✨ Reward yourself like you’re training a very smart but easily distracted golden retriever (because… same)
Give yourself credit — you’re working twice as hard behind the scenes.
