I’m on Sabbatical

Sabbaticals seem to be reserved for professors and priests. In this busy, hustle culture, rest is not prioritized or rewarded. In indigenous cultures, it’s expected for healers to take time for themselves. I have never heard of a private practice therapist going on sabbatical, but I’ve decided to do it anyway.

Thank you for understanding my need to take care of myself for a short time. Whenever I start getting worried that people won’t do well without me, I have to remind myself that’s sort of a savior complex that I have going. In times past that I have been briefly unavailable to my patients, I have often seen them thrive, rather than suffer!

When I return to work, I will email my previous patients and update the website to reflect some exciting changes!
