Being patient with yourself means being persistent in your actions towards your healing journey, whether that be…

- not missing your therapy sessions

- intentionally taking care of yourself

- advocating and speaking up for your needs

- drawing healthy boundaries

- responding to yourself with kindness when you make mistakes

- gently course-correcting your actions

- being present in the moment

- getting out of bed

- taking a shower

- taking your medications

- celebrating small victories

- taking a deep breath…

Big steps or baby steps…

The key is persistent patience with yourself.

You are worthy of every bit of patience you can give yourself, because you are worthy of every thing good and beautiful that you’ve been waiting for!

Peace and love 💕

When friends have as a trauma response:

How do you help someone who is anxious?

By being a non-anxious friend—calm, warm, gentle, and full of unconditional positive regard.

By being so, your anxious friend/loved one can sense your comfortability in addressing whatever is happening in their body—their anxiety, their distress, the issue at hand—then they will be less triggered because they feel safe in your space.

Helping people feel safe in your space is a step closer to their post traumatic growth.

Be that non-anxious friend.

Peace and love 💕

People Pleasing: A Trauma Response

Did you know that people pleasing is a trauma response?

Yes, apart from Fight, Flight, Freeze response, there is a 4th F— Fawning.

It is a coping mechanism that people who have experienced complex especially from childhood, utilize in order to avoid conflict to appease their abusers, or anyone who is a source of their distress, as a way to keep themselves safe.

Later in adulthood, this way of coping may most likely manifest in people- pleasing behaviors to avoid conflict:
- Becoming a pushover and not having your own thoughts…
- Letting people walk all over you and not making your own decisions…
- Agreeing to everything even though it’s pushing your boundaries(difficulty saying “no”)…
- Staying in relationships despite toxicity …
…and many other behavioral manifestations that allow others to undermine, disregard, and disrespect your own personal identity and self-worth, which make it difficult for you to form long-lasting and meaningful connections.

It’s not because you’re just that way, it’s because your brain is trying to protect you in the best way it learned how—it’s how you’ve learned to survive all those years of abuse and manipulations.

So how do you get out of it all, where do you begin?

It’s important to identify and understand your trauma response so you can begin your journey to healing, at your own pace and in your own terms.

A great place to start is to connect with your sense of self—spend some time alone…
- practice mindfulness
- journal your thoughts
- listen to uplifting music that inspires and feeds the soul
- immerse yourself in a good book
- dance
- do yoga
- go on a quiet morning or early evening walk
- spend some solitude gardening
- paint
- write poetry
- watch the sunrise or sunset…doing even just one of these suggestions each day for a week will lift your mood and help you reconnect with yourself.

It is helping your brain connect with your body, teaching it a new way to survive.

It’s not easy…but it’s doable.

You have already surpassed many difficulties to get yourself to where you are at now.

You are stronger and braver than what those people who hurt you have led you to believe.

Focus on what you have…

If you focus on what you can’t have…
should have…
must have…
did not have…
wish you have…
you will be prone to depression and anxiety and a lot of interpersonal conflict.

But if you focus on what you have…
the here and now…
you will find more happiness and contentment in your day to day.
You will start to embody joy in its truest sense.

My invitation to you as you go about your week is to start small and focus on the little things that brings meaning to you.

What do you have right now, right this minute, that brings you joy and inner peace? Share ⬇️

Peace and love ❤️
