Letters from EMDR Therapist Florida: I am scared...

Mamas,

I am scared…for so many different reasons. 

I think that's true for so many of us right now. To manage my fear, I’ve been focusing on the things I have control over, which is currently my immediate world: my family, my home, my work, and myself.

In this vein, my work is taking my attention this week. I have my first booth for my practice at the Whole You Women's Expo in Jacksonville, FL. (Saturday, September 27, 2025, 12 pm-5 pm) I am excited about the opportunity, and my introverted self is starting to panic. So. Much. Peopling! And peopling at a time when there is so much conflict and fear in the world and the community. 

It has made me reflect on how I want to show up this weekend. Recommendations about having your “elevator pitch” ready to go haven’t felt right and have left me feeling stuck. It doesn’t feel authentic and genuine. That being said, authenticity falls under what I have control of, and feels safe. 

So, there it is, I’m showing up as me. I’m looking forward to connecting with women who are meant for me, and I am meant for them. If you find me this weekend, we can have fun figuring it out together. 

And if you’re scared, like me, we can be scared together. Courage, like misery, loves company!
