Bravery is never alone. It exists as a response to a feeling that came first, such as fear or anxiety. Invite your brave to come along, it’s amazing what you will accomplish!

Hey folks. It’s another Monday. Remember that you’ve gotten through every Monday of your life so far - you got this!

And some coffee wisdom….

☕️Monday: When my coffee holds space for me.☕️

My father loves Leonard Cohen and signs all of his emails with “there is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in” (Anthem, Leonard Cohen, 1992). I’m gonna find the crack, who’s coming?

If your Wisest Self didn’t know this before, it knows it now.

It has been a while since my thoughts have slowed enough to catch the ones I’m interested in exploring. Just trying to make time to sit with my thoughts and my ipad as a practice for now, things will come out when they are ready.

Thank goodness! Right?

When it comes to packing a schedule, I used to contend with the best of them. Now, it’s harder, I need more recoup to resolidify the mush in my head. Take notice of what’s between your ears….it matters.

Sometimes we need human connection nourishment, hugs from those closest to us, and sometimes we need a meal…right now I need both.

When does this get easier, when does it feel routine, when do I stop self-editing so much?

There isn’t a soul on this planet who wouldn’t benefit from learning about themselves and there isn’t a soul on this planet who knows all they need to know already. Give yourself the gift of therapy because you deserve it.

Find that space and take it, being born entitles us to it, regardless of the messaging we received way back when, and our Wisest Selves know this.

I have so many peers being tortured by their teenagers and STILL a part of me, a very loud part, is positive that will not be happening in my house...lol this part is ridiculous...it's coming for me.

It is so much harder to change how we express our anger when we don't get curious about the feelings anger is hijacking.

Young parentified parts can be so loud sometimes. Shout out to all who resonate with this inner dialogue 🙏

Opening up about our fears is one of the bravest things we can do. 🌱 It takes strength to be vulnerable and share our true feelings. Let's embrace our fears together and lift each other up!

A simple fact that truly aids in the treatment of complex trauma - whatever it is, in addition to the pain, you survived it.

#cptsd #traumatherapy #therapistsofinstagram #survival

Allowing any human on this planet to exist in survival mode, for failure of the world meeting their basic needs, is a catastrophic crime of morality.

Therapists: Do you ever hear yourself say something in session and think—
“Wow. I needed to hear that too.”
Yeah. Same.

Client progress isn’t linear.
Some weeks = big wins.
Other weeks = just showing up.
Both are valid. Both are part of the process.

Trust the work. 🌀
