hi friends. today is election day, and we know today is fraught with anxiety, fear, anticipation, dread, frustration, anger - so many large, encompassing feelings that can swallow us whole without a second if we're not aware. at live oak, we're very much feeling these things too. so as both "live oak" but more importantly as individuals, some of us here had the capacity to share their self-care tips for today (or any day, but especially today!). in order to keep this post from being wildly long, we'll be posting our folks' thoughts as comments. if you've also got some tips to add, we'd love to hear them! today especially, though, prioritize yourself first. ⏩⏩⏩ tips to follow. ⏩⏩⏩

just one training coming on up in a couple of weeks! can't believe it's almost november. we're looking forward to beto's training! we're also going to be going a little more in-depth on what "C.E.Us" are. what are they? what does it mean? how do you utilize that as a clinician? most of y'all are familiar with them, but we think going a little more in depth on how they work would be beneficial for everyone. image description at the bottom, happy friday y'all ❤ . . . . . . . image description: NOVEMBER INFOGRAPHIC a beige background with cream leaves in the background that are lined with purple. various black deco-decor decorates the image. in purple font at the top it says "november 2024 trainings". underneath, in black font like the rest of the words, is: “all trainings listed are: $75/3 C.E.U.s/each only available live via Zoom/please ask about student & discounted rates!” Below that are the titles, host name, times and dates of the training workshops themselves.

highly recommend Sakina - if you're looking for a therapist (especially as the days get shorter and 'self care' seems like a distant memory, lookin at all y'all 👀), we truly recommend her. plus her openings are all virtual which is great for those of us who struggle to get out of bed. be gentle with yourselves this autumn. 🖤 video description is over on our facebook for those who'd like it! . . . #liveoak, #liveoakchicago, #chicago, #liveoaktherapy, #chicagotherapy, #therapy, #therapist, #therapists, #therapistsofig, #therapistsofinsta, #therapistsofinstagram, #community, #collective, #therapycollective, #ceu, #ceus, #ceuopportunity, #ceuopportunities, #training, #trainings, #therapytraining, #mentalhealth, #mentalhealthtraining, #therapytrainings, #mentalhealthtrainings, #trainingopportunity, #trainingopportunities #therapistopenings #availability
