Therapist colleagues, I’d love your book recommendations, preferably not too intellectual. While I like heady stuff, I’m more in an era of the heart, the body, the mysteries of these lives we’re living.

So I picked up Essential Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: An Acquired Art by Teri Quatman. It’s pretty interesting thus far and I read a passage today that struck me as something I’ve long been talking about with clients.

I decided to start reading more about psychodynamic therapies, as I didn’t get much exposure to this in grad school or in the first half of my career. I got some info, but not in much depth & especially not after the publicly funded MH world shifted to “evidenced based practices.”

When you're not sure what decision to make, use a coin toss. When that coin lands in your hand, in the moment before you look to see whether it's heads or tails, you'll realize which one you want it to be. That's your gut (or your heart) telling you which way to go.

#therapistsky - this looks like a good resource for therapist self-reflection as well.
With the increasing rise in transphobia and trans antagonism, it can be hard to know whether a therapist practices in a way that respects and affirms your identity and experience.
That’s why TACTT have developed a new trans affirming therapist checklist!
