I think there are many situations in life in which we might manufacture certainty where none actually exists. Learning to sit in the uncertainty, and respond without having to replace it with certainty is an incredibly valuable skill. Thank you for showing us how Jessica 🙏

Self love that I learnt in my life "because everyone left in hard time"

I’m glad you learned how to love yourself, Ankit especially when everyone left you hanging! 🙌🏼🫶🏼 I’m going through something similar now.

Great post. Being in mental health care, our field is all about sitting in uncertainly. I tell my students you need to learn how to love living in the grey. Someone who resists ambiguity generally doesn’t do very well working so closely with other humans. We’re all about ambiguity!

Hi, Dr. Cort! How do your students respond when you say to learn how to love being in the gray? Any friction?

Sometimes but honestly we’ve started asking about this during admissions interviews. It’s not that folks can’t still struggle with it. But it can’t be a barrier you can’t get over if you intend to go into mental health counseling.
