The artwork that therapists keep in their offices is highly personal and often very thoughtfully placed. When I’m sitting in my office, right in front of me is a piece of art that I put up that has a quote on it that resonates with me in terms of how I view my clients and what I hope for them. Maybe it resonates with you as well. It’s a quote by Dodinsky that says:

“May you fall into your own arms. May you speak the words you need to hear. May you have gratitude with each breath. May you build your dreams with faith. May you embrace your soul with kindness. May you bring wisdom from your past. May you choose peace instead of anger. May you see the light in your darkest night. May you stumble upon yourself when lost. May you uncover courage beneath these fears. May you accept mistakes with humility. May you practice forgiveness to heal wounds. May you see the beauty of your imperfections. May you find love within your own heart.” - Dodinsky

Reading through that, is there one part that really speaks to you? Or do you think you can find a way to incorporate one part into each of your days? Maybe it could be a goal of yours to journal or reflect on at least one sentence from that weekly or even daily (if you’re feeling ambitious). As you go through the time between now and our next session, I want you to try and take at least one sentence from there and reflect on it and then write how it impacted your week or day. Think about whether that sentence is something you chose because it is something that is so prevalent in your life or maybe because it is something that is missing and you need to incorporate it into your experience in a more deliberate way. And then write a little bit about your thoughts.
