Welcome to my fresh new blog! I’m so excited you have found this space. I’m excited to start posting! As with many things new and novel, of course I want to publish 10 posts in a row, but that’s a good way to burn myself out on the process. So I will start slow, and I hope to build a steady pace with posts.
With this blog, I hope to publish about a variety of topics and issues that my clients face. I may take a question about a diagnosis and flesh it out, or I may review current events that could have an impact on mental health (holiday cheer, anyone?). I would also like to speak on the therapeutic process (what is going through my therapist’s head when I drop the trauma bomb?), and I even might get personal and share some of my own experiences and insights from my therapy. Yes, therapists have therapists. As they should. The professional culture is designed to lift each other up.
I love the title of The Finch Nest, as it next evokes a sense of home and belonging. I have always relished the idea of coziness. Our friends in Denmark have a word specifically to describe the sense of coziness; hygge (pronounced hoo-ga). Hygge isn’t just a fuzzy blanket… it’s a sense of all encompassing warmth and cheer. Hygge is warm lighting with your favorite meal in the crockpot, holding a cup of hot cocoa and admiring your Christmas tree. Hygge is also laying out on the warm sand at your favorite beach with a can of soda in hand.
You get the idea. My hope is that this blog brings a sense of hygge to my readers. You are welcome here.
