How are you feeling today? What are those little eyes looking up and seeing? It isn’t about hiding our true feelings from our kids, but modelling that it’s okay to feel any feeling or emotion as that’s what makes us human x

They are not just watching us - they are reflecting us. Our energy, our emotions, our unspoken struggles all echo in them. When we find balance, they find peace. When we heal, they THRIVE. ❤️

We all have our own stories 🫶

🌼 A Gentle Reminder: What You See Isn’t Always What’s Felt 🌼

It’s natural to assume that someone’s outward appearance reflects how they’re feeling inside, but the truth is often much more complex. Many people are carrying unseen struggles, including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complex PTSD (C-PTSD), even if they look okay on the outside.

PTSD and C-PTSD affect people in deeply personal ways, and their symptoms aren’t always visible. If you or someone you care about is living with PTSD or C-PTSD, here are some of the challenges they may be facing:

✨ Re-experiencing Symptoms
Flashbacks that feel as though the trauma is happening again.
Intrusive thoughts, memories, or distressing dreams.
Sudden waves of fear, panic, or physical discomfort.

🌿 Avoidance Symptoms
Avoiding places, people, or conversations.
Feeling emotionally numb or disconnected from others.
Struggling to remember details of the trauma.

🔥 Alertness and Reactivity Symptoms
Always being on high alert, feeling unsafe even in safe places.
Difficulty sleeping or concentrating.
Feeling irritable, overwhelmed, or easily startled.

❤️ Changes in Mood and Emotions
Trouble trusting others or feeling disconnected.
Persistent feelings of fear, sadness, guilt, or shame.
Loss of interest in things that once brought joy.

💙 For those with C-PTSD, additional challenges may include:
Struggles with regulating emotions, leading to intense emotional highs or lows.
A distorted sense of self-worth, often feeling 'not good enough' or broken.
Difficulty forming or maintaining relationships due to trust and attachment issues.

💛 Kindness and understanding go a long way.
Just because someone looks okay doesn’t mean they aren’t struggling. PTSD and C-PTSD can be isolating, but a moment of patience, a listening ear, or a compassionate gesture can mean everything to someone fighting battles you can’t see.

💙 Be kind. Be understanding. You never know how much it might help. 💙

❤️

This lady is amazing. And we need more Dr Jessica’s in our world 🌍

‘I said, if you touch me again mate, you’re going through that fu***ng window over there.’

My body shook. My heart raced. I hated people touching me.

‘Jessica!’ My mum clapped her hand over her mouth,
blushed red, and apologised repeatedly to the dentist.
I batted his hands away from my mouth.

‘I told him twice, Mum. I’m not numb yet, that stupid
s**t hasn’t worked again!’

The dentist took two steps back from me, peeled off his gloves one by one, and slapped them down on the edge of the sink. He snatched his blue face mask off, and glared at me through little rectangular glasses.

Suddenly, he exploded.

‘Get out of my practice right now. And don’t you ever
come back! You are banned!’

Ironically, just as he banned me from my third dental
practice in a year, my mouth finally went numb.
I slobbered and slurred another insult at the dentist as
my mum pulled me off the chair and shoved me out of the room.

‘What on earth did you do in there?’ The receptionist
shook her head in disbelief that the ordinarily kind and
quiet old man had such an outburst at a patient.

I shrugged at her, and joked, ‘He wouldn’t give me
a sticker.’

Half of my mouth grinned at the receptionist, and the
other limp half let out another mouthful of slobber onto my navy-blue Carlotti hoodie.

I could have sworn she stifled a giggle behind her computer screen.
