Studies show that a combination of talk therapy and medication is often more effective than either on their own. Visit me at Integritas.janeapp.com to book a free consultation.

Practicing self-compassion: Being kind and understanding towards yourself as you navigate the process of unmasking. It's okay if it feels scary or uncomfortable.

You got this!

Post positive affirmations you can tell yourself if you’re feeling self-critical about feeling anxious to unmask.

Creating safe spaces: Seeking out connections and environments where you feel more comfortable letting down your guard, even just a little. This could be with a trusted friend, family member, or within the supportive space of therapy.

Post a picture of your ‘safe space’ or tag someone who makes your life feel safe.

Unmasking isn't about suddenly being "fixed" or forcing vulnerability before you're ready. It's about:

Acknowledging the mask: Recognizing the ways you might be hiding your true feelings or experiences to cope.

It's Mental Health Week, and this year's theme of "unmasking" resonates deeply with the work I do. For many navigating anxiety and the aftermath of trauma, daily life can feel like wearing a mask – a performance to hide the fear, the hypervigilance, and the deep emotional wounds beneath.

This week, I want to gently encourage you to consider the weight of that mask. What energy does it take to keep it in place? What relief might come from allowing yourself to be seen, truly seen, with all the complexities of your experience? Post in comments and reduce the stigma.

Mental health professionals (like all healthcare workers) are often put on a pedestal. We even expect ourselves to be available 24/7. Reality check: it's impossible.

Recently, losing my mom taught me the hard way about self-care. I was so focused on being there for her and my brother, I forgot about myself. Caring for others is my passion, but guess what? I'm human too!

If you have a therapist or ARE one, remember: we're people too. ❤️

We all have a spark inside us. Sometimes that spark needs tending, and that's okay. Reaching out for support when you're struggling with your mental health isn't a sign of weakness, but an act of incredible strength. Let others help you fan your flame. There's always hope and help available. 🤝

🧠✨ Mental Health Matters: Embracing the Journey of Trauma Processing ✨🧠

Hey everyone! 🌟 Today, I want to take a moment to talk about something that affects so many of us—mental health and the importance of processing trauma.

Life can be incredibly challenging, and we all face our own battles. Whether it’s a single event or a series of experiences, trauma can leave deep scars. It’s okay to acknowledge that the journey to healing isn’t linear; it’s filled with ups and downs.

Here are a few reminders to keep in mind as we navigate this journey together:

1. **It’s Okay to Seek Help**: Reaching out to friends, family, or professionals is a strength, not a weakness. You don’t have to go through it alone.

2. **Practice Self-Compassion**: Be gentle with yourself. Healing takes time, and it’s important to honor your feelings without judgment.

3. **Create Safe Spaces**: Surround yourself with supportive individuals and environments that foster healing and understanding.

4. **Express Yourself**: Whether through writing, art, or talking, expressing your feelings can be a powerful step in the healing process.

5. **Celebrate Progress**: Every small step counts! Celebrate your victories, no matter how minor they may seem.

Let’s continue to break the stigma surrounding mental health. Share your thoughts, experiences, or tips below. Together, we can create a community of support and understanding. ❤️

Have you ever asked if your grief will ever go away? Loss of normal, loss or love, loss of companionship ,etc. can create deep feelings of profound sadness. What if I told you it should never go away?! That it will just morph into something different … And that’s a GOOD thing! Check out the video below and see if you recognize the voice.

I came up with a way to explain healthy processing of grief by integration, using plasticine as a medium. It has helped many I have shared this with to avoid...
