small steps of bravery > giant leaps

👣 Choose an exposure.

👣 Commit to doing the exposure despite how fear shows up.

👣 Notice the sensations of fear in your body as you do the exposure.

👣 Don’t fix it, just notice.

👣 Let the discomfort be there while you do the exposure. You will be okay.

👣 Your job isn’t to push fear away, just stay long enough to feel it shift on its own naturally.

👣 Celebrate when done to reappraise the experience as safe!

Small steps matter.

Your body learns safety through experience.

This is how rewiring happens: one tolerated moment at a time. ✨

Unless you’re taking a mind-body recovery class… grades do not exist here. But if they did, you’d get an A+ just for showing up.

Let yourself be human. 🤍

Healing isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. You’re allowed to take what fits for you, and leave what doesn’t!!

Just keep going. 🤍

Grief is both emotional AND physical.

It can feel like pressure in your chest, exhaustion, brain fog, or tension.

Your body isn’t broken!

It’s trying to process loss, not punish you.

❤️‍🩹 To move through it:

1. Name what you feel… even if the only word you have is “numb.”

2. Let your body express it: cry, shake, rest, move. There’s no wrong way to release!

3. Lean on safe connection. Our nervous systems heal best when we don’t have to hold it alone. Read that again.

4. Make space for moments of lightness. Joy doesn’t erase grief. It reminds your system that safety and love still exist.

Sending you lots of love and so many long hugs. 🤍

More being, less doing.

More compassion, less criticism.

More living, less surviving.

Easier said than done, I know. But if I could do it, you can too. 🫶

You’re doing all the right things by gradually re-engaging with life….

And yet symptoms are still here! 😩

Why why why why!!!

But that’s just it. Maybe the “why” isn’t as important as the “how?”

How am I going to continue to show up for myself on the hard days?

How am I going to change my response when I notice myself become fixed on the outcome?

How can I lean more into the present moment to experience more joy, love, playfulness, and compassion?

Sometimes what keeps symptoms stuck isn’t the activity itself, but the fear and/or monitoring happening underneath.

“Is this making it worse?”

“Will I flare later??”

“Why are symptoms still here when I’m doing what I’m supposed to be doing?”

Try bringing a little more calm, compassion, and trust during those moments... helping your brain learn, “I can move and be okay.”

It’s hard, but I know you can do this.

Drop a piece of advice or comfort for those struggling with this right now, we’ve all been there. 🤍

📢 What you resist will persist!! 📢

And what we avoid won’t disappear when we push it away. It will wait. And probably come back more intensely. 👀

I know it’s uncomfortable, but we have to sit with discomfort to reappraise it as safe to the brain.

You got this. 🤍✨

I wanted to provide an update on this family that so many of you have been rallying around and supporting with me! Please continue to share the link in my bio and in my stories, so that we can help them through the winter. There is truly no donation too small! As a therapist dedicated to helping people access safety, my wish is for ALL kiddos to be safe and protected. Please continue to wish for this family’s safety, for the emotional and physical protection of the Jewish community worldwide, and for the breadth of our collective empathy to blanket all children with love.

The goal isn’t to make the panic go away or stop it from happening, but to practice allowing and experiencing the sensations without escaping, fixing, or fighting them!

This builds tolerance and reduces the power panic has over you. ❤️
