This is so important for you to know.

Are you surprised if I tell you that your level of function changes when your nervous system is disregulated?

Think of it like trying to walk straight while climbing up a mountain.

It is literally impossible.

It's the same idea as trying to be in two places at the same time.

This is also impossible.

Regulating your nervous system is the greatest gift you can give yourself.

Cognitive challenge: Does everyone else make sure you feel okay and check in with you all the time?

Emotional challenge: Does it leave you feeling positive or negative about yourself?

Check in with yourself.

Are you a people pleaser?

Were you told to take care of others?

Were you told your needs were less important than others?

Were you treated second class or worse?

Love.

You may have never experienced it.

You may have had an experience that made you stop short with anything related to love.

Do you know what happens when others love you and care about you even when you are not able to feel it?

You get little messages that it is possible to experience these feelings again.

One day you will. It may be different than before but it can be.

For some, you may only experience this with a therapist.

For other, it may be a friend or family that shows up consistently.

Is your pain yelling through these words?

Trying to not let your past break you and also working to find balance?

Trying to become a better version of you, keeping the parts you like about yourself, and working through the hurt, trauma and pain will have you in the best place possible.

It is natural to want to start over.

But completely starting over means losing touch with your entire self.

Pain doesn't make you stronger.

It does make you a better survivor though.

Feeling like you can't function?

This can come in waves quickly or slowly. There can be ups and downs. At the end, you are trying to manage and survive but are not living.

Trauma can effect you in deep ways across the many areas of your life.

Overcompensating comes from a very deep place as well. Trying to achieve perfection is impossible.

Learning skills to achieve the perfectly imperfect life will help you feel more rooted.

What a perfect image to show how your slowly get knocked over until you are no longer able to stand and function. I passed by this tree and sharing it with you and the message that comes with it felt important.

Here is a tree, once so strong, laying on its side.

If you were brought up surrounded by negative people and events, you may have never learned how to see the positive.

It is possible to make changes to the way you think and feel.

A lot of that has to do with having different experiences now.

If you never had this opportunity, it will take work to initiate and create positive experiences.

07/03/2025

If you know, you know.

Trying to get through life, struggling with different things.

Some your can plan for, some you can't.

Sometimes you manage better than others.

Sometimes you will be effected more than others.

There can be unpredictability with how trauma shows up.

You can create consistency with the tools and skills your can build and how you react.

07/01/2025

I knew that would go wrong!

You're right that things will go wrong. Simultaneously, things will go right.

If you only focus on the negative, I challenge you to notice both.

I also ask you to embrace both so you can experience them fully.

It doesn't need to be true just because you feel it.

You've already felt way too much you should never have had to.

It is common to fit the profile of having difficulty setting boundaries, receiving them, being able to formulize thoughts, feelings, opinions and mostly believing in yourself after experiencing trauma.

06/27/2025

When you feel the world is flying by you, where do you end up?

I hope you land in a good spot.

But, it's up to you to decide the path.

Some paths have you travel extra, headed in a direction you need to turn around from.

When you make short term decisions, it becomes part of your long term decision as well.

If you feel overwhelmed with needing to make short term decisions, there are tools to help you.

You can try to think of how your decision or lack of will feel to you two weeks after.

Do some grounding so you can feel calmer and here equipped for decision making.

06/25/2025

Triggers from trauma are not so much about the trigger but the way you are able to cope with them.

Triggers follow you around but you don't need to follow them.

06/22/2025

Think of it like a ferris wheel.

Do you forget self care?

Are there consequences from work?

Wedges created in relationships?

I know it can be hard to get everything done when there is always so much to do.

Having your negative emotions you need to address in addition to the daily struggles, can effect you getting to everything as well.

If you only focus on one priority, there can be anxiety and feelings of not being productive coming along with this.

Always do your best.

Put time into your calender daily.

Once you have that set time and you are mentally prepared, it will be easier to focus.
