About Emily Forsythe

There's this misconception that - if you're not in crisis - therapy must be a luxury. I'd argue that seeking to be your best, most authentic you, though, isn't an indulgence.

Hoping to form a more committed or satisfying relationship with a partner? Therapy can help that relationship Flourish... and if it's not destined for success, can help a couple sense that sooner.

Wish you could move past a personal road block? Working collaboratively with your therapist can be the work-around (or dynamite) you need to push towards your next move.

Taking a few months to become the best you you can be isn't really a luxury, right?

I want to feel more comfortable around people

I'd wonder first if you were still in the same home and neighborhood where you raised your son and experienced the abuse? In many ways, we react to our environments - and if you're still surrounded by neighbors who didn't reach out when they heard your ex yelling or offer assistance and resources... more

How do I get over a person I fell in love with?

What if we think about this in metaphor: imagine a dirt road suddenly paved over - where before it was small, once paved, it was faster, smoother and suddenly you, the driver, knew what real driving could feel like. Then your road got a pothole: now, every time you drive, you hit that hole, and it... more

How do I get over "imposter syndrome"?

I'm sorry you're feeling this way. You've probably read articles already about impostor syndrome, but still didn't get the answers you were looking for; you probably know that lots of people feel this way, that it happens to lots of successful people in professional settings. Not helping, right... more

I'm worried about my new job

Congratulations on your new job. Chances are, you accepted this opportunity knowing that sometimes, you feel heightened levels of anxiety while traveling (or at least, people are telling you this is true) Rather than working towards how to stop it from happening, it might make more sense to prepare... more

How do I help my 5 year old from horrible tantrums caused by a bully at school?

There's two things this post relays - one, which I'm sure you've already looked into - is working with the school to address this problem. Sure, sometimes kids don't get along, but most schools look at bullying seriously, and this sounds serious. The other, though, is additional tools to consider to... more

How can I learn to love and like myself and what's in the mirror?

I'll offer two tools to consider: a bar and a puzzle piece. (What?!) Most people compare themselves to others - ie: I'm not as good looking as Jaime, I'm not as cool as Corey~ the person you might do better to look at is you. What cool thing did I do today that I didn't do yesterday? how did I do my... more

My wife outed me to her sister

Echoing others here, I'm sorry, she shouldn't have. Hopefully, you will have a conversation (or, in reality, several conversations) about relationship expectations of privacy~ Are there things your wife would prefer you not share with her family? Without exploring what is or isn't okay through... more
