As Murphy’s Law would have it, most accidents and rogue sicknesses occur on the weekends and after hours — that’s why we’re so grateful for the amazing team at @niteowlurgentcare 🦉🌙 

What used to be PM Pediatrics, NiteOwl now serves all ages at all three of their locations around Chattanooga! Join us for a quick tour of the Ooltewah office and meet some of the friendly faces you may encounter when you or your family needs after hours medical care.
We get it, therapy can be intimidating. The team at @evrgreentherapy helps clarify 6 common misconceptions about therapy that often turn people away:

1. Every session is strife, sadness, and tears.
👉 While some sessions can indeed be somber and emotionally taxing, many people experience enlightenment, clarification, and validation for ongoing issues in their life that leave them feeling relieved, energized, and empowered!

2. Therapists just nod in silence and make you do all the talking.
👉 Good therapists let you lead the conversation at times, but they always offer helpful prompts to get you thinking and talking. Furthermore, therapists frequently respond with supportive feedback and equip you with resources to better navigate life’s challenges.

3. All therapy is indoors.
👉 Outdoor therapy is a very common and effective technique. Fresh air and a change of scenery can get the brain working in new ways. Furthermore, forward motion like walking, can deescalate emotions and make it easier for people to verbalize what they’re thinking. 

4. Play therapy is just for kids.
👉 Therapists encourage doodling, sketching, and other multi-sensory techniques for all ages to channel energy into an activity, and relax the mind so the patient can settle into the session.

5. All therapy is just talking.
👉 Effective therapy can include movement such as yoga, meditation, animal interaction, etc. to allow the brain to process thoughts and emotions.

6. Therapists constantly judge and psychoanalyze their patients.
👉 Therapists are human, too, and deeply understand trauma, disorders, and learned behaviors. When you find the right therapist for you, you won’t feel judged or shamed, you will feel empowered, accepted, and encouraged, even when the love is tough.

The therapists at Evergreen offer a variety of specialties and experiences, but all of them carefully practice based on research supported techniques.
