Like many during this virus outbreak, I attempt to maintain some sense of normalcy. My job takes me on the road. It is safe to say that I know where nearly every café, Starbucks, and Dunkin’ are within a thirty-mile radius. I often use these stops to take a break, sit down, have a bite…

Not gonna lie. Just a few weeks ago, I posted a status on my personal Facebook that read as follows: For real, this Corona Virus nonsense is way over hyped. Media, please stop. The status gained attention quickly with 60 likes and nearly a hundred comments. It definitely sparked quite the debate among my loved…

I am the true definition of an empath. If you are going through some shit, WE are going through some shit. I take your emotional baggage and heave it over my shoulder.I lean down. I take your shoes off. I put them on and walk the walk. All of this is metaphorically speaking, of course,…

Welcome fellow counselor “Kris” to the Caring Counselor blog. Check out her take on putting yourself first rather than last like many of us do. Why are we, as humans, so programmed to put ourselves last? I have been working since I was 14 years old, and in those 12 years, I have never called…

Growing up in the late 90’s and early 2000’s, my generation felt the wrath of Pokemon cards, TY Beanie Babies, and Pogs. Working with kids over the last few years, their interests shifted more towards silly bands…

Who knew that three little words, eight words, one phrase could mean so much. Saying these words in any context drastically changes the conversational tone. They signify the impact a loved one has on us. It shows that we care about them and that we recognize such care being reciprocated. It means that we want…

Something felt off. I could not tell what it was. My thoughts raced. My chest periodically grew tight. Waking up in the morning, it looked like a tornado swept through my bed. My tossing and turning at night tore my bed apart. During the day though, my body felt like a giant dumbbell, dragging my…

As a kid, I despised English class. I loathed the idea of being force fed “The Catcher in the Rye” because some school administrator felt it was important for me to do so. Then came my favorite part where I regurgitated the plot in an essay. I honestly found language arts difficult. Although my cognitive…
