Sometimes crying feels like a release.
Other times it leaves you feeling worse — and that’s not random.

Crying helps when your body starts to soften, your thoughts are specific (not looping), and you feel safe or supported. In those moments, tears help your nervous system process what’s happening.

Crying can feel worse when your body is tense, your mind is spiraling, or you’re judging yourself for having emotions. Then the tears amplify stress instead of relieving it.

The tears themselves aren’t good or bad.
What matters is what your body, mind, and meaning are doing around the cry.

Perfectionism thrives on fear of mistakes. Exposure practices help by giving you safe, intentional ways to practice imperfection—so your brain learns you can handle it.

Think of it as tiny experiments in freedom. The more you practice, the less power perfectionism holds. 💙

👉 Save this for when perfectionism starts creeping in.

Is Your Trauma Therapy Speaking the Right Language?
If your trauma therapy only engages the rational side of your brain, it may be missing the mark—and that could be why progress feels slow or painful.

The science is clear:
Trauma lives in the body, not just the mind.
The areas of the brain impacted by trauma are preverbal—they don’t respond to talk alone.
Survivors are often in a state of chronic distress, hypervigilance, or dissociation.

So what should therapy really do?

🗣️ Speak to the brain and body where trauma actually lives
❤️‍🩹 Help you feel your way to healing—not just talk about it
🧘‍♀️ Create real-time relief, safety, and calm in your nervous system

Why ART Is Different
Most trauma therapies rely on retelling and re-exposure, which can lead to retraumatization, overwhelm, or emotional shutdown.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is different. It’s fast, gentle, and effective.
✅ No need to share every detail
✅ No retraumatization
✅ Resolution at the end of each session

You don’t have to leave therapy feeling worse.
You can leave feeling lighter, safer, and more in control.

Your trauma wants to be heard. Your therapy should speak its language.
