keep this in mind when engaging on social media

disclaimer

My professional Instagram account (@therapywtess) is a space for reflections and general mental health education. It’s not therapy, and it’s not meant to replace personalized support. You’re more than welcome to follow or engage here, but please know that any interactions may be visible to others. As part of maintaining ethical boundaries, I am unable to engage with clients through social media. If you ever have questions about this account, feel free to bring them up in session or reach out to me at tessa@shinementalhealth.co.

gentle reminder

Social media is a curated space. What we see there is often a highlight reel, not the messy, complicated, human stuff that happens behind the scenes. I share intentionally here, but what’s shared is still just a slice of the whole. Not the full day, not the full person, not the full process. If scrolling ever stirs up self-doubt or comparison, that might be a cue to step back, re-center, and reconnect with what matters to you, offscreen
