The "Pat Yourself on the Back" Philosophy
Acknowledging personal milestones and recognizing your own resilience is a crucial step in the therapeutic process. My practice incorporates the philosophy of acknowledging your efforts—taking a moment to "pat yourself on the back"—as a foundation for building enduring mental well-being and self-efficacy.
