Hi! I’ve always had a pretty small account (by lots of standards) and over the past couple of months it’s grown quite a bit (for me), so I thought I’d do a quick (re)introduction. Also, I feel like this needs to be said so there’s no confusion - therapy is political because politics impact people. I will often post political memes and when I post something about trump that ppl don’t like and they say “unfollow”, I’m genuinely confused what they expected from a person in my line of work. Anywho, I’m really happy you’re here and genuinely hope you learn something about yourself or someone you love or just feel less alone in this big, messy, overwhelming world. taken in Wichita, Kansas by @laurenscafetherapy

Bored? Couldn’t be me. Also, when people imply I listen to people “vent” all day always tells me that they have much to learn about therapy. #sextherapy taken in Wichita, Kansas by @laurenscafetherapy

Happy OCD Awareness Week to the mental health condition that remains significantly underdiagnosed, is often misunderstood, and can go years without an accurate diagnosis.

Research suggests people with OCD may experience symptoms for years before receiving the correct diagnosis. And even when they do, many never receive the treatment specifically designed to help.

OCD is not just being organized, particular, or a perfectionist. It can look like intrusive thoughts, endless mental reviewing, compulsive reassurance-seeking, relationship doubts, health fears, and an exhausting need to feel certain.

The good news? Effective, evidence-based treatment exists. Medication can also help.

People deserve to understand what they’re experiencing and have access to care that actually addresses it.

Because years of unnecessary suffering shouldn’t be the price of an underrecognized diagnosis. #ocdawareness #ocd #ocdisnotanadjective taken in Wichita, Kansas by @laurenscafetherapy

Imagine still thinking calling women wh0res is funny. Imagine having that massive platform and that’s the best you can do. Imagine still being comfortable perpetuating rape culture at this point. Imagine still thinking patriarchy is some kind of dirty word. Imagine being so harmful and so boring all at the same time. #Patriarchy #rapeculture #misogyny taken in Wichita, Kansas by @laurenscafetherapy

And I promise I’m going somewhere with it…how do you feel about more experiential type therapy vs traditional therapy? It’s very different and often uncomfortable but I am such a believer. #relationshiptherapy #traumahealing #partswork #somatictherapy taken in Wichita, Kansas by @laurenscafetherapy

It is in fact Thursday. What I’ll say is that I only post reviews of products I believe in 🫡 and they have the best packaging! #sextherapy taken in Wichita, Kansas by @laurenscafetherapy

I will never stop yapping about the connection between the jaw, the pelvic floor, and stress/trauma because not enough people know. By the way, where I work @flourish_ict we are partnered with some AMAZING pelvic floor PTs that I can’t recommend enough @summit.ptwichita. #sextherapy #trauma #pelvicfloor taken in Wichita, Kansas by @laurenscafetherapy

If OCD has ever made you question your relationship, sexuality, body, or what your thoughts “mean,” save this. And if you’re in treatment, bring these patterns to your therapist. Especially the things you do to get certainty or seek constant reassurance around. Remember, it can take an extraordinarily long time to get a diagnosis for OCD but it’s more prevalent than most people think and treatable. #ocd #ocdawareness #neurodivergent taken in Wichita, Kansas by @laurenscafetherapy
