Did You Know THIS is Actually Common in Therapy?

by Dr. Kendra A. O’Hora, LCMFT

Last week I introduced our newest series, In That Chair. The series contains poems written by me, Dr. Kendra O’Hora, about what exactly happens in a therapy office. You can check out this blog post for the why behind the series. 

My intention is to share the poems on Instagram as well as the website to give life and meaning to each piece. I debated sharing an explanation of each poem … where I was in my journey or the context to each thought written on each particular day. But,

part of the beauty in creative writing is how a reader ascribes meaning to each word.

Did You Know That THIS is Actually Common in Therapy? | This poem shares a highly common experience in therapy. Whether you are attending therapy as an individual or couple, your mental health is precious, know that this pattern is common.

In that chair,

you go back and forth,

back and forth,

uncertainty surrounds you,

nothing is comfortable,

you are scared to land scared to step

you are desperate and done

ready and paralyzed

we circle together

we swirl each time

we process and consider

and then you change your mind

you go back and forth

back and forth


But wait!

While I so appreciate you reading my poems, the bulk of our website is less about me and more about you. I regularly post resources and information for couples – that’s my sweet spot!

Yep, I’m an expert at couples therapy and I love sharing content with you, in fact, so much of my content is free!
