My patients have been to hell and back and still keep fighting. 💪🏽

“….the mess of being alive”. Hell yeah! 🔥

RX: Several times per day.

It all seems like a lot. Take a breath and just do the next right thing.

No one can stop you from growing and learning and only you can change you. Take control of your life bc if you don’t, someone else will.

My bestie sent me this bc sometimes even the therapist needs reminders. Who you surround yourself with matters.

Mental health is political folx.

I’m just sayin’.

Forgiving them doesn’t “let them off the hook”. It does not condone nor absolve them of what they did. Forgiveness is a gift to you, not them.

How do you cope when you find yourself here?

Not all worry is unfounded. Sometimes we are anxious bc the F***ING world is on fire. Some anxiety is warranted, BUT we can still learn to manage it better.

Such flawed thinking and I see it all the time.

#anxietyisabitch #seekhelp #livedammit #lifeistoughbutsoareyou #neverfingsettle #mentalhealth #traumaresponses #copingskills

Behavioral Activation to the rescue!

Let it out.

And you shouldn’t either.

Not all “work” is internal. Check your environment for roadblocks.

#mentalhealthactivist #socialactivism #activism #nodoormatshere #mentalhealth #neverfingsettle #lifeistoughbutsoareyou #yougotthis #unlearnthatshit #bigkidshit #stepaway #growthmindset

You. Are. Not. A. Bother.

#traumaresponses #mentalhealth #neverfingsettle #lifeistoughbutsoareyou #seekhelp #yougotthis #lifeisworthliving #depressionsucks #suicideawarness #recovery

You always have a choice, even if you hate all of them, you still have one. Just be ready for those consequences!

I’m so sorry you are hurting. That wound looks painful and I’ll help you heal it, but stop bleeding on others. 💔

Ooh ooh ooh, I know this one! 🙋🏼‍♀️

Your triggers are an indication of where you need to heal. NOT for creating landmines for your loved ones.

Life's tough, right? Today's struggle: sipping on some wine at the golf course. Just another day in the "hard-knock life" of a photographer. 🍷🏌️‍♂️
