Just throwing some shade at Mel after she just put out content today that said “and what are people pleasers? They are manipulators!” Mmmmmmmm good stuff. If you don’t like it, just let me. I’m fighting for my life.

Being unalone in our pain is more regulating than any Breathwork you can ever learn... Don’t rush, we can be here together.

Pretty sure “save my soul” song is going to be the stand in for all content moving forward.

Take care of each other. ❤️

I love the weeds, I am the weeds.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the times are real bad but the memes are real good.

Take care of each other.

“Fine” is not something I think we will be… but/and using these visualizations has helped me immensely as a therapist, mother and giver.

Trauma Stewardship is a book I recommend to all therapists. But not just therapists, empaths of all kinds. ❤️

Take care of each other. Take care of yourself ❤️

Your “doom-scrolling” isn’t a flaw. It’s a biological circuit breaker.

Most of us are walking around in a state of Dorsal Shutdown. This happens when your nervous system is flooded with “Activation” (the news, the alerts, the crises) but has no outlet for “Action.” We are stuck.

When the body is primed for a fight it can’t have, it doesn’t just stay revved up, it eventually gives up. It drops you into a state of numbness, brain fog, and heavy exhaustion to protect you from the overwhelm.
Remember this: Stress isn’t an error in the system; it’s the system working as designed.

Our bodies are built for:
1️⃣ Activation (Notice the threat)
2️⃣ Action (Do something physical)
3️⃣ Recovery (Return to safety)

The modern news cycle keeps us stuck between steps 1 and 2. We’ve been trained to suppress the stress, “hold it together,” and avoid the discomfort. But resilience is about recovery, not avoidance. You don’t need to be “stronger” you need to complete the cycle. Follow along for more tips and skills from a therapist.

We are in the weeds with this one guys!

If a client asks if I have a dog, I’m going to tell them about my dog. Do you have kids? Yep!
Answering every casual, human questions with “What comes up for you when you ask that?” isn’t neutral, it’s weird as hell, and it teaches people that curiosity gets them distance, not connection.

Clinical skill is knowing the difference between a projection and a bid for relationship. Don’t shame people for wanting to know basic things about you

“Holding space” doesn’t mean being an emotionally neutral vacuum. It means being a regulated, honest human in the room. When we name the shared heaviness of political violence without collapsing into it, we model nervous system regulation, relational transparency, and reality‑based hope—not bypass.
