The Therapy Session Was Over, But Then the Real Work Began
Therapy isn’t just about what happens in the session—it’s about what happens after. It’s about how we take what we uncovered, sit with it, integrate it, and let it move through us.
Yesterday, I did just that. I stopped. I let go. And I let something unexpected happen. My inner child took over, and she wrote a poem. A love letter. A goodbye. To my sweet boy, Zulu.
This episode is about receiving yourself—through grief, through creation, through the messy, beautiful emotions that come when we finally stop doing and just let ourselves feel. It’s about the power of integration after therapy, and how sometimes, the real healing begins when we stop trying to fix ourselves and start witnessing what’s already here.
💛 In this episode, we dive into:
- Why therapy is only the beginning—the real work happens in the integration space
- How writing & creativity can help you receive your emotions instead of resisting them
- The power of witnessing yourself through spoken word & self-expression
- Why we over-give, over-do, and struggle to just be (and how to shift into receivership)
- A deeply personal reading of my poem for Zulu—and how grief, love, and creativity intertwine
This episode will hit you in the heart. It’s for anyone who’s navigating emotions, craving space to receive themselves, or wondering what to do after therapy opens something up inside them.
