We’re winding down Mental Health Awareness Month and here is your free mental health tip 😌:⁣
⁣
𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗻𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗱. People that caused generational trauma can 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 be causing generational trauma. People who abandoned your needs when you were younger can still abandon your needs in different ways when you are older.⁣
⁣
𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗻’𝘁 𝗽𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿, 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆’𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗴𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿… While the generational trauma patterns may present differently, they 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 present.⁣
⁣
The tough part of the healing journey is not expecting THEM to act different, but for you to act AND move different.⁣
⁣
Now hear me out… I’m not about to ask you to become a member of cancel culture. But I am going to ask you to start reclaiming your time.⁣

⁣
Some people stir those emotional wounds like they are mixing Kool-Aid 🫠. Remove the spoon and their access to you when you need to. Some people are safe sometimes, and then other times you see how their unhealed parts want to show up and try to damage your healed parts.⁣
⁣
Shift their access to you. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗯𝘆 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂. You can love people deeply and still stop giving their unhealed parts a front row seat to your peace.⁣
⁣
This next season of your life is calling for you to look at access to you differently. You deserve peace, joy and happiness even when life is going on. Your moments of peace require just that… peace. It’s time to reevaluate the spoons you are giving to stir things in your life.⁣

This is a great share! Couples counseling is a great tool for understanding and longevity in relationships. I especially like the point that the husband acknowledged that he has to be mindful of the hormonal fluctuations that happen with being a woman. Understanding a woman’s biology is a MUST for being in a relationship with a woman.

𝗨𝗻𝗽𝗼𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻: If you are having mental health events, without consulting a mental health expert or including a mental health expert at your event… Please stop 😐. You could be causing harm and giving out bad information with what you are putting out into the community. People’s brokenness, grief and trauma should not be an experimental, antidotal, or simply a money making venture for you just because you have a slight interest in it.⁣
⁣
I have an interest in the neuroscience of brain surgery. I will not host an event on the neuroscience of brain surgery just because I have an interest or know someone who has had brain surgery.⁣
⁣
As a licensed therapist, I often hear the detrimental impact of mental health events that may be well intended but lacked preparation and consultations putting in putting it on. Please remember people take these things learned at events and apply it to their lives, their marriages, and raising their children and making major career decisions. It’s unfair to them to have to add an additional layer of healing and repair because they implemented something you briefly learned from a meme, YouTube, or your own therapy session (which therapy is not a copy and paste solution for someone else’s life).⁣
⁣
Again, I say this because I see the people that have to heal from this and I’m hearing the impact more and more. People whom have started self blame, destructing their marriages or have ruined relationships with their kids, coworkers and friends. ⁣
⁣
It’s ok to get training, degrees, AND licensure to do this work or consult with the people who are trained and have something that governs us to give out research based and ethical information. People’s lives and willingness to live can literally be in your hands… we don’t get practice trials with people’s hearts or minds.⁣

⁣
To everyone else, the picture may still look clear enough. They may not notice the blur, the haze, the slight distortion around the edges.⁣
⁣
But you feel it and see it while you’re simply just trying to navigate each day.⁣
⁣
You notice the way it makes ordinary moments feel a little harder to see... The way love, loss, sadness can all sit in the same frame.⁣
⁣
Today would have been my dad’s 74th birthday, and I’m honoring him while also being honest about what grief feels like in real time. Grief doesn’t always stop the picture… Sometimes it just changes the way you see it.⁣
⁣
And those feelings still matters so it’s ok to honor them too.⁣

Couples - Let’s talk about intimacy! Watch this stitch that includes a clip posted by and let’s talk about things to remember about how to build intimacy through healthy physical touch.

Three simple words… yet three 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 words... Many of the giants that we stand on their shoulders, leave us with words that transcend their physical presence and have the ability to guide us beyond a hundred life times.⁣
⁣
This statement, no… 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 that Jesse Jackson led so many to say, reminds us all that we are more than our circumstance… we are more than our skin color… we are more than our mistakes… we are more than their prejudices… at the end of the day, we 𝗔𝗟𝗟 are somebody.⁣
⁣
May this affirmation continue to guide you today and that you revisit it as many times as you need. Jesse Jackson’s legacy lives on just as his power words also do…⁣
⁣
And as a kid who road in his parade in the 80s when he announced his run for president, there will also be a special place memory in my heart for when my own dad first introduced me to politics through Jesse’s campaign. I learned the importance of getting involved at ANY age. I know my Dad stands at the gates excited to talk Jesse’s head off 🥹. As a grief counselor, as a widow, and as a daughter who has also lost their dad… my heart goes out to the Jackson family in every way possible🤍.⁣

Some growth is loud.⁣
⁣
New titles. New doors. Big announcements.⁣
The kind of progress people can see from a distance.⁣
⁣
𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘵𝘩?⁣
It happens like a small green thing pushing through cold ground.⁣

No “likes.”⁣

Just you… becoming.⁣

⁣
Sometimes your winter looks like rest.⁣
Or boundaries.⁣
Or choosing peace over proving.⁣
Sometimes it looks like doing the same hard thing again…⁣
but this time with more softness, more wisdom, more self-respect.⁣
⁣
And it may feel like “baby steps”…⁣
but all steps still count.⁣
⁣
Even if the world can’t measure it yet…⁣
you can feel it.⁣
⁣
You feel your nervous system calming.⁣
You feel your standards rising.⁣
You feel your spirit getting steadier.⁣
You feel yourself taking up space without apology.⁣
⁣
So don’t downplay what’s unfolding just because it’s still in seed form.⁣

So today, acknowledge your growth.⁣
Name it out loud.⁣
Celebrate it on purpose.⁣
⁣
Not because it’s finished, but because 𝙔𝙊𝙐 are faithful to its growth.⁣
⁣
New month. New grace. New chances to keep becoming.⁣
⁣
And if nobody else sees it yet… you do.⁣
⁣
Keep growing. 🌱⁣

I don’t know who needs to hear this but, 🗣️ create those New Year resolutions! For the people who say they don’t create them, we can tell 🫠…

There is nothing wrong with having a date set that you reflect on areas of your life and make a list of things you want to get better at… even if a million other people do it on that day.

There is nothing wrong if that date is the New Year, your birthday or some random Saturday.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to continuously grow and having a goal for your mental health, physical health, financial health or relationships. It’s called having the courage to want to evolve.

Please don’t let anyone shame you because reflection and growth is on your radar. Fall 100 times if need be because that one success outweighs them all. And before you dare take anyone’s advice on not growth check in points, take a look at their life and relationships (especially the one they have with themselves) and ask yourself if that is what YOU would like to emulate for parts of your own life 😌.

Cheers to reflection and growth whether you chose to make them today, tomorrow or in three months. I look forward to seeing (and maybe even being part of) your evolution.

Signed,

The “Here We Grow Again” Counselor
