ONLINE Therapy for parents and caregivers in Kansas and missouri

Mimi Bachman Therapy, LLC

Are you a parent or caregiver who feels overwhelmed, reactive, and then guilty for not having it all together?

Maybe you feel guilty for wanting more. Don't you already have the the life you worked so hard to create? Even still, the edges are starting to fray and you don't feel connected to yourself and others in the ways you want.

You're not alone. I help parents like you feel more steady, confident, and whole. We work to figure out where the overwhelm and distressing feelings are coming from and make more space for curiosity and authenticity.

You don't need more tips and tricks, or more of other people's stories. We'll go deep into your experiences to explore what keeps you stuck and help you show up as the parent and person you want to be.

"Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing we'll ever do."

- Brene Brown, PhD, LMSW

When people begin to feel heard and understood, they find that the answers have been inside them all along.

I would be honored to walk with you on your journey back to yourself.

Overwhelmed parents - I see you trying so hard to stay calm. Your intentions are in the right place. AND I’m sorry to burst the bubble - being constantly calm is only a fantasy.

You need space to experience the truth of what it is you’re feeling, instead of more self-abandonment and over-functioning. As you grow your capacity to feel it all, you’re more able to experience those moments of calm instead of just exhaustion and rage. It’s not easy, but I do think it’s worth it.

We humans often approach change as something to slam ourselves into, to hurry and get to the finish line. “Start strong,” “stay consistent,” “no pain no gain.” (I actually somewhat believe in the last two, but maybe in a different way than you’ve learned it).

In reality, change truly begins when you can get curious and understand your current situation. What habits do you have already, and how do they serve you? Which ones frustrate you, and what’s behind that frustration? When we can sit in the feelings and the truth of what is (without intellectualizing it, a common trap), then we truly gain some agency to take the next step.

I'm not big into immediately trying to change your life in January every year. News flash - you are still you. And that is a wonderful thing.

I AM into setting gentle intentions for the next year, and easing into the setting goals part. Let that come later when spring energy starts buzzing.

My wish for you is more joy, more tenderness, and more showing up for yourself. There is no one-way liberation.

What is your wish for yourself? Take some time to talk to yourself kindly and set an intention for your year. The simpler the better.

Maybe this feels hard because it IS hard. You aren’t a bad parent - you are doing the best you can! You just happen to be also be human, and parenthood shows us all the spaces inside ourselves that could use some tending.

I find this visual of having a little kid inside of us to be helpful in reducing our shame and understanding what we can do to support ourselves and our families. Just like we believe that our kids deserve to have a voice in their lives, your inner child does too.

If you’re ready to commit to supporting that child inside of you, I’m accepting clients in person in KC and by telehealth for KS and MO residents. Head to @mimibachmantherapy and set up a free intro call to learn more.

There are many paths to becoming a therapist. Mine included being a deeply feeling kid trying to navigate the world.

I used to think I was too sensitive… that my feelings got in the way, and that I was just too much.

I’ve come to see my sensitivity as a superpower. It has served me in so many ways: instead of consuming me, being in touch with my feelings can transform me and my world.

As a therapist who sits with people in some of their most vulnerable moments, I find so much meaning in helping my clients come to know that they too can be transformed, instead of consumed. I can hold it with them, because I’ve walked this path too, and I know there is hope on the other side.

If this resonated with you, know that you are not alone, and that help is out there ❤️ You are worthy of support.

Parents, this one is for you! A reminder of the power of self-compassion in your parenting journey. A little goes a long way.

If self-compassion feels hard to access in those tough moments, or maybe you find yourself in the same frustrating situations over and over, working with a therapist can help.

Why mess is necessary for growth::

Think back to an experience of moving living spaces or work spaces. You go through your things, put what you’re keeping into boxes (donate/throw out the rest), and move into your new space. Then you realize that your things don’t quite fit the same and some don’t have a spot anymore. You might find a part of you wishing you could go back to your old space. You miss your neighbors, even the loud ones. Everything feels new, and it takes awhile to fully settle in.

Internal growth can be a similar process, albeit less straightforward. You bring awareness to your current ways of functioning and decide what you want to keep and throw out (who knew you were still carrying around that old coping mechanism you erned when you were 7?). You try out new ways of being, learn from that. You miss parts of the old you. Relationships change. Things you used to believe don’t feel right anymore. A part of you wishes you hadn’t even gone through this journey - the old way was safe and predictable, even if you were miserable! Will it even be any better on the other side of this mess?!

It can feel overwhelming when things aren’t how they used to be, but the future isn’t quite clear yet. Growth is messy and nonlinear, and allowing the mess to exist is a necessary part of the process. Keep going. You’re doing great.

This audio by @elizabeth_gilbert_writer highlights what’s possible when we allow all parts of us to show up and be seen. When we make room for our fear, we also get access to our creativity. When we acknowledge our shame, we make space for our dignity to shine. What a ride it is to be human and whole.

To all of you who are sitting with and nurturing the parts of yourself that are hard to accept - I see you. This is important. Your experience matters.

Swipe through to understand a little bit about what it’s like to work with me, and let me know what you think or any questions you have below!

MORE HERE 👇
Therapy can be a hard process to explain. It’s a unique relationship between you and the therapist, and it incorporates your wishes and goals for your healing journey as well as the therapists’ training and experiences.

Therapists each use different modalities and draw upon different theories of therapy. For example, some therapists use shorter-term behavioral techniques focused on challenging thoughts and shifting unwanted behavior through homework and skill-building, while others use psychodynamic techniques which are longer-term and focus on gaining insight into your past experiences, healing emotional wounds, and healing relationship dynamics (this one is me!). There are also many other types of therapy that providers use, like EMDR, brainspotting, DBT, and solution-focused therapy! You can also find people who focus specifically on a diagnosis or population, such as borderline personality disorder treatment, perinatal mental health, or adolescent-focused. The reality is that most therapists utilize a combination of techniques and theories.

This means that even if you’ve been to therapy before, choosing a new therapist will be a different experience. The most important aspect of therapy, no matter what type fits your needs best, is the relationship you have with them. This is the basis of any progress you will have - if you don’t feel safe with or trust your therapist, you won’t be able to be truly vulnerable and make lasting change.

If you’re in the Kansas City area or live in KS or MO and this sounds like what you’re looking for, head to the link in my bio to schedule a free intro call! I offer in-person or telehealth so you can choose what’s best for you.

What it looks like to be emotionally available to yourself:

1️⃣ Identifying the feelings: putting words to them and/or locating where they are in your body.
2️⃣ Staying present with them: noticing them in your body and listening to what you’re saying to yourself in that moment without judgment or trying to make them go away.
3️⃣ Providing loving support: examples might be giving yourself a hug, jumping up and down to move the feeling through your body, repeating kind things to yourself like “it’s okay to feel this way. It’s okay to wish you weren’t having this feeling. It won’t last forever. I’m here with you.”
4️⃣ Moving to ask for or get what you need in that moment: understanding what the feeling is calling you to do and doing that. It might just be doing 1-3 and sitting in it, or it might be resting, asking for support, having a hard conversation, or reprioritizing your day.

Notice what comes up as you reflect on this. Maybe relating to yourself in this way feels out of reach, or maybe you are proud of the way you show up for yourself. Maybe you’re somewhere in-between.

No matter what, NO ONE does this all the time and it’s not always a linear process. It is a practice and a journey, not a destination. If this feels new for you, try it out and then share with someone how it went!

For those of us who feel like we should push through exhaustion, ignore pain, disconnect from our bodies, and question our own internal signals….

You can trust your body’s response.

Listen for what it might be trying to tell you, and honor what comes up. It is not working against you. True healing is more than just intellectualizing your experience, and your nervous system knows so much that your brain doesn’t.

Is this easy? Absolutely not. But your healing matters.

For those of us who feel like we should push through exhaustion, ignore pain, disconnect from our bodies, and question our own internal signals….

You can trust your body’s response.

I love these words by @kobecampbell_ so much, they need a permanent spot here.

If things feel heavy and hard to carry this week,

If your inner critic has been loud this week,

If the worst versions of you feel hard to love and accept,

You are not alone. You are human, and you aren’t meant to carry it all by yourself.

Here is your reminder that you don’t need to “go away until you’re better” or cut off relationships in order to heal. In fact, this can sometimes lead to isolation and a decline in mental health👇
.
.
Healing does not look like:
🚫 becoming something different or “better” and only *then* being worthy of love.
🚫 never experiencing rupture and discomfort in your relationships.
.
Healing is:
✅ showing up imperfectly and knowing you’re worthy of love now, as is.
✅ allowing yourself to be cared for when you make mistakes, and having capacity to repair with others when they feel hurt by your actions.
✅ making space for your feelings and experience, and sharing them with a trusted person if needed.
.
Yes, you might need space from certain people for a period of time. Some relationships might end. These things are true AND you need support as you navigate showing up in the world in new ways ❤️
.

IMPORTANT NOTE: when I talk about feeling hurt or hurting others in relationships, I am not talking about tolerating or dismissing abusive behavior.

This has always been my favorite quote about boundaries: plain and simple, healthy boundaries are about love ❤️

When you grow up with scarcity messaging, you might have learned that your needs aren’t important or that you are being selfish to advocate for yourself (so many of us learned this by the way!). As an adult this turns into feeling like you’re being mean or selfish when you need to say no or ask for something you need. This can leave you feeling powerless, burnt out, and resentful 😖

Another person’s negative reaction to your boundary does NOT mean it was wrong to set it in the first place.

If boundaries are tricky for you, remember you are not alone! Setting and maintaining boundaries are ESSENTIAL for creating a life you want to live and having healthy relationships.

Like and save this post as a good reminder, or share with a friend who might need to hear this today ❤️

May we find spaces to share our stories and be met with love, compassion, kindness, and respect. Your story matters.

May we not be consumed by the stories in our minds, where our inner critic can be loud and our shame can grow. That is no way to live.

May you find this space welcoming, comforting, and a place to let someone else hold it all with you, instead of on your own.

This is where you will come if we meet in person, and where I will be if we meet over telehealth. It is within @becollectivekc in the Crossroads, across the street from Up Down.

Maybe parts of your story bring up feelings of shame, disappointment, grief, or a feeling of failure. Sitting with this can feel really overwhelming. As Brene Brown says, when we live outside our story we end up hustling for our worthiness.

What if you are already worthy? What if your story matters? What if you deserve love, most of all from yourself? And if that's hard to do, that's okay too.

Hi! I’m Mimi Bachman and I am a licensed clinical social worker in Kansas City. I work with people who are feeling stuck, specifically adults and parents. My clients are navigating transitions in life and finding that their usual ways of coping aren't working for them anymore. We work together to understand how they've gotten here and what's going on, so that they can get in touch with their inner knowing and find ways to move forward with support.

I believe that you have everything you need within you, and that therapy is one of the most powerful ways to access healing. You don’t have to do it alone.

I have an office in the Crossroads for in-person sessions, and I also offer telehealth sessions for residents of Kansas and Missouri. If you are interested in learning more about my offerings, click the link in my bio and reach out to schedule a free consultation! If I'm the right fit for you, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your healing journey. Sending love always ❤️
