    Dance Like Nobody’s Watching

    I discovered a love of EDM in the basement of a local concert hall. The side door entry club was cleverly called “The BASSment”. It was an all ages club that booked electronic dance music DJs. This was the early 2000’s and the term “EDM” wasn’t as popular as it is today. Club goers were […]

    Hi, My Name Is…

    Blythe Baird in her book, “If My Body Could Speak,” writes  “I used to find empowerment in labels, Now I feel suffocated by them.” I felt that in my core. When I was a kid, I wanted to be PRETTY. I wanted to be SMART. I was a WRITER. When I was an adolescent, I […]

    Social Media Detox – How It’s Going

    Back in April 2022, I decided to take a break from social media, more specifically: Instagram and Facebook. I could not stop myself from scrolling Instagram in any free moment I had. I would “just check” the app at least 100 times a day. Facebook was not as frequent, but I couldn’t remember a recent […]

  • Schema Theory

    Schema Theory

    Schemas develop as behaviors that were once helpful in childhood but are exaggerated in adulthood. This overview is taken from Tara Bennett-Goleman’s ‘Emotional Alchemy’. I highly recommend giving it a read. It provides a much more in depth look at schemas, how they are formed, how they become maladaptive, and how to develop healthier responses […]
