1. Self-care is deeper than surface
2. Emotional regulation is an underrated relationship skill
3. Familiar isn’t always healthy 💚

Another great day at American Psychological Association studios! Had a great time interviewing Dr. Kathryn Hall about her work.

For those who may not know, American Psychological Association has a catalog of educational videos for trainees and clinicians who want to broaden their knowledge about various aspects of psychotherapy that you may not get in a textbook. I am grateful to have served as the interviewer for my amazing colleagues and am excited about more to come! Check out the APA website and search for training videos for more (these two are just a couple that I have been able to support with).

Grateful for the opportunity to speak about the different levels of advocacy as providers. One of the most underrated skills we have is simply listening with deep empathy and transitioning to action. Thanks A Home Within for creating this conversation!

Thank you Senator and Soror Senator Angela Alsobrooks for your service and for spending time with a few of us Maryland psychologists to discuss the overall political climate and how we as mental health professionals can be impactful in this season. Shoutout to American Psychological Association advocacy staff for always creating meaningful advocacy moments for psychologists. 🙌🏾

An honor and privilege to “officially” meet Jacqueline Thompson Rev. Dr. Jackie Thompson, Sr Pastor of Allen Temple Baptist Church, in Oakland, CA or “The Town” as we call it in the Bay 😉. I grew up in Vallejo at Friendship Missionary Baptist Church and her presence gave me a bit of home this evening. She gave a mighty Word this evening at Alfred Street Baptist Church and I am grateful for her ministry, leadership, advocacy and ‘posture.’ (Watch the sermon online to learn about posture).
