Queen Behavior Change

airplane neighbors always want to know if us therapists are “psychoanalyzing” them right now?

honestly i spend a lot of time thinking about how i wish my dog gave me more attention and how i wish he were immortal

whenever people ask me “are you psychoanalyzing me rn?” i wish i could show em the inside of my brain and be like i hate to disappoint but it’s mostly just like podcasts, french bulldogs, and maybe like worrying about childcare options.

i mean i guess like random topics too but like mentally, i am on a remote tropical beach with my immortal family eating Dotz pretzels and guzzling fountain diet coke. And they magically contain high concentrations of both iron and protein, and you know what? Also fiber. Okay, FIN.

One of my favorite experiences was managing behavior while was teaching literacy lessons to students .. the students’ progress was like nothing I had ever seen before!

I don’t always enjoy writing ✍️ psychoeducational reports, but I enjoy parts of feedback sessions — the part when you explain a diagnosis (or multiple) and the intervention(s) that work(s)

I loveeee the vibes and the people watching in the Florida Keys 🏝️

Can’t believe how fast time flies between visits and how much changes!

My first trip to the Keys, I couldn’t imagine ever leaving academia … and now I can’t imagine how I could survive as a mom with medical/health stuff in that environment

🎀 So excited to announce that Valentina is here!

celebrating my first leap-year wedding anniversary today👰‍♀️ AND posting to share that a little bb girl is on the way 🤰🎀💕
🌼 i haven’t talked too much about this life update yet .. it is hard to find the right words to capture both my enthusiasm and also be real about a couple bumps in the road
🌼 it can be a bit exhausting to try to explain the details of why i don’t feel 100% … so sometimes i just opt out of the topic altogether
☘️ i really do feel so grateful overall. my husband is such a magnificent person and i absolutely love children. getting to be the mother of my husband’s kid will make me very happy

It has been a few weeks since I introduced myself here. For the new people—welcome, I’m Annie!

💛…More About Who I am…💛

1️⃣I help THERAPISTS get the best quality resources so they can help their clients change.

2️⃣I have a research background (15+ research publications, PhD in clinical psychology, & more). Therapists come to me because I am always linking them to tools that really work AND the most up-to-date science about mental health.

3️⃣Unlike some of the other science-based go-to sources, I have a warm personality. I create useful resources for therapists that are aesthetically-pleasing.

✨ I was thinking of how I can serve THERAPISTS, and I was wondering. Have you ever felt like the materials you have for your clients are disorganized?
No
✨ Have you ever apologized during a Zoom appointment while you shuffled through messy folders looking for that one pesky handout that always gets lost?

✨ I am here to help. I just put together a list of the top FREE, science-based handouts and worksheets available online. Link in bio

When the science came out that doctors have to wash their hands, people actually resisted this concept.

I created this account to make it easier for people to learn about the science of mental health.

In 1843, it wasn't possible for scientists to share information directly! But we are already half-way through 2021.

The future is here.

Social media isn't perfect, but I am excited about the opportunity to share scientific resources with therapists here.

I’m not a regular science-based therapist, I’m a cool (slightly obsessed with frenchies) therapist.

What stereotype do you often feel like you’re up against within your career? Let me know below 👇🏻💚

How we talk to ourselves can be called an inner monologue.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on whether you agree that the way we talk to children can determine their future inner monologue 👇🏻
