Course Creation Fall Happenings
Does anyone know where the summer went? It went by so quickly that I didn’t even realize it is my BIRTHDAY MONTH! Yep, yours truly is a Scorpio… watch out for the sting!
In all seriousness, fall is my favorite season. I don’t know if it’s the apple and pumpkin picking or return of hot coffee (that’s probably it) but fall is such a creative time for me. I think that the cooler weather draws me inside more and in my home is where I get creative.
I get a lot of emails from women with Herpes. It is a shame there are not more therapists who specialize in working with women with Herpes. It is so common that I know there are many more out there than the folx who email me. I want to take all of them as clients, but since I keep a very small practice, it’s not possible to take all that come my way. So I started thinking about how I could make a bigger impact and help more women through this difficult time of diagnosis, disclosure, and learning to live with it and maybe even thrive with it. So I decided to create an online course that people from all over the world would have access to.
Often the side of Herpes that doesn’t get attention paid is the EMOTIONAL side. Yes, I am yelling because it needs to be yelled. It’s not just that you have a virus in your body and you move on with your life. Every new relationship, every outbreak, every doctor’s visit is a reminder, and a possible avenue for feelings about it to be brought up. Those feelings can be overwhelming for anyone. And I have seen my clients thrive with it. Because Herpes has a sneaky way of popping up when we are chugging along on empty or on our way there, it’s a reminder of when to take care of yourself or a tugging at your attention to start taking care of yourself. Remembering to care for yourself seems easy, but it is not for everyone. You cannot forget Herpes because the moment you stop taking care of yourself, there it is.
I am creating something for everyone who needs to explore what herpes means for them emotionally and to remember you are not alone. I wanted my voice and my personal touch to be available to everyone. It will include videos, meditations, worksheets, and interactive parts so you know you are not alone.
I’m open to suggestions. What would you want to get out of a course like this? What do you want to know and what do you need help with? Slide into my DMs and give me some inspiration. And if you want to be on my list to receive an invite , please sign up on my list!
