Use Structure to Build in Freedom and Resilience part one

Use Structure to Build in Freedom and Resilience part one
Work is supposed to support your life—not the other way around.
But too often, we let obligations—both professional and personal—dictate our time in ways that drain us instead of fueling us. That’s where the Magic 4-Square Box of Freedom comes in. It’s not just about managing work responsibilities; it’s about taking an honest look at everything that fills (or depletes) our energy—so we can shift the balance back in our favor.
For a moment, step back and ask yourself:
✔ What lights me up?
✔ What do I have to do?
✔ What do I choose to do?
✔ Where am I spending energy that I don’t need to?
When your life’s balance is off, joy, creativity, and rest become the first sacrifices. But here’s the thing—you can change the math.
In the full post, I break down exactly how to do this—with a simple tool to help reorganize the way you spend your time, both at work and beyond. Click here to read more and start shifting your time toward the things that actually matter.

Meet Katherine Driskell

 
About Katherine
Helping people find their clear blue sky possibilities after their storm
Katherine Driskell, MSW, LICSW has been in the non-profit and mental health space for more than 20 years. With experience in therapy with clients from 8 to 80+, in a variety of settings, she is able to start with clients where they are, and help them reach their goals. 
She is a certified EMDR Therapist and Consultant-In-Training through EMDRIA and a Certified HeartMath Interventions Practitioner. She is a member of the Minnesota Society for Clinical Social Work.

She focuses on motivated clients with clear goals. She helps them meet their goals through short-term intensive work focused directly on the origins of the blocks and beliefs that hold them back. She works with high-achieving professionals and performers as well as individuals who have experienced traumas big and small. Located in the heart of the Destination Medical Center district in Rochester, Minnesota, she loves working with patients and their loved ones, doctors and providers to overcome the medical trauma that is sometimes part of healing and illness. She combines mental health and counseling knowledge and skills with cutting edge, research-supported approaches to remove barriers to achieving potential.  

She has worked for the State of Minnesota providing mental health care to clients with chronic mental and behavioral challenges. She was in a leadership position at the Mayo Clinic for five years before joining a local non-profit organization to guide a program providing mental health therapists to provide care in schools.

Katherine is available for Consultation for EMDR Therapists who have completed EMDRIA-Approved Basic Training and want to pursue certification.  Click here to join the next cohort. 

Katherine has also provided license supervision to social workers and professional clinical counselors for nearly a decade. She sought supervision outside of her place of employment as well, knowing the value of an outside perspective and the protected space to grow that comes from a dedicated supervisory relationship. Clinicians must continually reflect on their own well-being and responses to the work they do with clients. In a safe, nurturing supervisory relationship, clinicians can become the healers they seek to be. Each year she takes on a small cohort of Clinical Social Workers and candidates for licensure as Professional Clinical Counselors for license supervision.
