Therapy speak. What are you hearing from your kids?

When I was working as a psychotherapist (taking a break due to health issues), and a client described feelings of anxiety about going to DMV, I likely would have explored this feeling with the client and coping skills they can use to manage the feeling. Of course there are a gazillion websites that describe coping skills for anxiety but sometimes talking to an outsider can help. Not to “prescribe” years of therapy bit just short-term help, such as through a couple of phone sessions via an EAP via their employer.

True and I don’t deny that. But, I think just not wanting to go to the DMV because it’s such a hassle and it’s so annoying is not a mental health issue, at least for most people. For some people it may be.
