As an SEO expert and someone who loves to write, I often struggle to come up with creative blog post suggestions. Frankly, my ideas become stale after a while. This in turn makes writing less enjoyable and much more time-consuming. But, recently I was inspired to change my mindset and shift my thinking to make blogging a much more enjoyable creative outlet. And let me tell you, it’s working. What’s my secret you ask? Well, it’s allowing myself to look for ideas in the most unconventional places.
I recently saw a popular television show depicting an EMDR session to treat a character that had severe war-related PTSD. At first, I was a bit excited because I saw a topic I write about often getting the attention it deserves, but as the scene wore on I quickly realized, this is NOT the way my therapist clients talk about EMDR. There were no protocols being followed. And in the end, the client left more keyed up than when the scene began.
Honestly, it was not a good look and it did not adequately portray the healing that can come from working with a therapist trained in EMDR. The more I thought about it, the more frustrated I felt. Then as I was laying in bed I thought to myself, you should blog on this. Talk about what you can expect from an EMDR session and dispel the myths that make people afraid to try it.
Truthfully, this was one of the best blogs I’ve written. Why? Because I was inspired and it was fresh on my mind.
As someone who’s made their career practicing therapy, I’m sure you could talk about mental health issues at length. Maybe you do, but maybe you hold off. When you get inspired to talk about a mental health subject, in a conversation with friends, after watching tv or reading a book or news article, I encourage you to blog on it. Allow your passion and expertise to shine through in your writing. Think of it as your opportunity to voice your thoughts and show others who you are as a clinician.
Look for inspiration in your everyday life and blog on them. Some places I frequently get inspiration from include:
Conversations with friends and family
I hope this helps you make the mental mind shift to think about blogging in a new light and gather inspiration where you can. My hope is that by writing on things you feel passionate about in the moment, you’ll let your personality shine through and write an awesome blog!
