Feeling tired in your soul but still showing up every day

This might not just be stress

It could be emotional burnout

You are not lazy you are overloaded

When you are always holding it together for everyone else your own peace gets buried

You deserve rest not just a break

You deserve healing not just survival

If this sounds like you or someone you love start saying yes to rest and no to burnout

You do not have to wait until you fall apart to take care of yourself

We are here to help you breathe again

What’s the Difference Between Anxiety and Panic Attacks?

Most young people don't even realize they're living in survival mode.
Anxiety slowly builds over time, it whispers.
Panic attacks crash down without warning, they scream.
Both are real. Both deserve attention.

You are not “too sensitive.” You are human, and your nervous system is trying to protect you.

Let’s learn the difference so we can start healing from the inside out.

Survival taught you to stay alert.
To push through. To protect. To perform.
But you don’t have to live in survival mode forever.

Thriving starts when you give yourself what you never received:
– Grace
– Patience
– Understanding
– Compassion.

Self-compassion says:
"I can be a work in progress and still worthy of love."
"I don’t have to earn rest, peace, or joy."

You’ve survived so much.
Now it’s time to heal forward.

💬 Drop a “🌿” if you're learning to treat yourself like someone worth fighting for.

Sometimes the ways you learned to survive as a child are not helping you anymore as an adult
Being quiet to keep peace
People pleasing to feel loved
Avoiding emotions to feel strong
These are signs not flaws
You are not broken
You are becoming aware
And awareness is where healing begins

At Self Talk Counseling we help you understand these patterns and grow beyond them

Some of us learned to hide in plain sight, strong, silent, agreeable, anything but seen.
Because being seen once meant being misunderstood, criticized, or abandoned.

But here’s the truth:
⟶ Being seen doesn’t equal being judged.

With the right people, being seen can mean being held, heard, and loved.
⟶ You don’t have to shrink.
⟶ You don’t have to perform.

✔️You’re allowed to take up emotional space. 💛

“You don’t know what you don’t know… until healing shows you the truth.”
A lot of young people are carrying trauma and anxiety every day, without even knowing it.
When pain is all you’ve known,
you call it normal.
You call it “just how life is.”
But it’s not.
Growing up in trauma-filled environments doesn’t just hurt — it teaches.

You learn to tolerate chaos.

You learn to ignore your body’s alarm bells.

You blame yourself or everyone else, not realizing the real issue started long ago.

This isn’t just about trauma.
It’s about unlearning survival and relearning safety.
At Self-Talk Counseling & Consulting, we’re helping communities break those patterns, one truth at a time.

If you only rest when you crash, that’s not rest, that’s recovery. I have been guilty of this!

⟶ You weren’t created to grind until your body forces you to shut down.
⟶ You’re allowed to pause.
⟶ You’re allowed to do nothing and still be enough.

✔️ Say this with me:
“I deserve rest, not because I worked hard… but because I exist.”

Healing isn’t a straight line. it’s a spiral.
You may loop back to the same pain, but each time you return with more awareness, more tools, and more strength.

Progress isn’t perfect, it’s personal.
✔️ Saying “no” without guilt
✔️ Catching your triggers faster
✔️ Returning to therapy
✔️ Resting without shame

That’s real growth. That’s healing.

What you don’t express emotionally…
The body carries physically.

Muscle tension.
IBS
Fatigue.
Digestive issues.
Emotional numbness.

That’s not random, it’s your nervous system waving a flag.

Suppressed emotions don’t disappear.
They hide in your habits, your health, and your relationships.

But here’s the truth:
Expression is release.
Suppression is storage.

You don’t have to hold it all in.
You deserve to feel free, not just functional.

You were conditioned to be strong by staying silent.
But what if true strength sounds like, “I’m not okay right now”?
What if real power is allowing yourself to feel… and still choosing to heal?

✔️It’s safe to cry.
✔️It’s safe to rest.
✔️It’s safe to release people and things that no longer serve you.

Whether you're at the beginning or in the messy middle, you're not broken.
You're becoming.

Caption:

Shame is not a parenting tool.
It’s a silencer.
And it ends with you.

⟶ You’re allowed to question the messages you were raised on.
⟶ You’re allowed to feel what wasn’t safe to feel before.
⟶ You’re allowed to choose compassion over control.

Breaking generational shame doesn’t mean blaming your family —
It means you’re choosing healing over hiding.
And that choice changes everything.

⟶ Let’s raise secure, grounded, confident humans, not just compliant ones.
